Benfica star at risk with Mourinho grabs headlines abroad | OneFootball

Footballer at risk of being 'crossed out' by José Mourinho is making headlines. Recently, the Colombian and Brazilian press have been highlighting the moment Richard Ríos is experiencing at Benfica. According to these reports, the midfielder has not had an easy life and is struggling to make his mark.

The difficulties in establishing himself in European football are starting to be noticed and reported both in his home country, Colombia, and in Brazil, where he played for Palmeiras. However, Ríos saw his situation become even more complicated after the play he was involved in against Casa Pia, when he lost the ball that led to the 2-2 equalizer. Nevertheless, the goal conceded was also partly attributed to Anatoliy Trubin.

With the international break underway, the number 20 traveled to join his national team, but he brings with him news that will certainly not please the Colombian coach. The player is dealing with an ankle contusion, as announced by Benfica. The injury is believed to have occurred during the equalizing play, when Ríos was left on the ground in pain.

While alarms are sounding in Colombia due to the player's physical problems, the situation in Brazil is even more disheartening. Palmeiras fans still haven't gotten over the departure of one of their idols and, given his current situation, the desire to bring Richard Ríos back to the São Paulo club is growing.

The Brazilian press also reports that the Colombian could end up losing José Mourinho's confidence. The mistake made by the player in the match against Casa Pia caused some discomfort and frustration. On the other hand, some believe that the partnership of the number 20 with Enzo Barrenechea could be numbered at Benfica.
