Breaking news! Benfica regular out of national squad after injury relapse | OneFootball

The Denmark national team announced early on Tuesday afternoon that it had released Alexander Bah, Benfica’s full-back, due to a relapse of the shoulder injury he suffered, less than 48 hours after starting in the Clássico against Porto at the Estádio do Dragão.

The player has now undergone a series of tests by the medical team and will not be fit to play in the upcoming matches. For that reason, he is no longer part of the squad,” the Nordic side said in a statement.

Bah will therefore be a major absence for the Denmark squad, especially as he had made a strong start to the season at Benfica, only halted by the injury he suffered away to Marítimo at the Estádio do Barreiros on September 5.

The 28-year-old footballer had returned to training with Glorioso even before the European clash with Milan, managed by Ruben Amorim, but Marco Silva ultimately chose to rest him for the trip to the Estádio do Dragão, with the player not travelling to Italy.

The next Benfica match is scheduled for October 11, at home to Vitória SC, in the 8th round of the Primeira Liga.
