Signed during the summer transfer window, Amar Dedic has been one of the most frequently used players at Benfica. The great fatigue, in addition to being at risk of suspension due to yellow cards, led the defender to start on the bench in Bosnia's victory (6-0) against San Marino, a situation that turned out to be favorable for the player.

"My wish is to play every game for the national team, but it felt good to rest after so many matches. We didn't want to take any risks since I was one yellow card away from suspension and because we know the kind of game that awaits us. Now I feel more prepared to face Austria," he said, previewing the upcoming match.

"I grew up and played there for a long time. I know them well and I know how they play," admitted the Benfica defender about the opponent, giving his teammates the recipe for success: "We have to show aggression and intensity from the first to the last minute."

Having started in all eight official matches for Benfica this season – although he almost slipped away from the Eagles – the defender is quite physically worn out, but is expected to start for Bosnia against Austria. The 2026 World Cup qualifying match is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. this Tuesday, September 9.
