Confirmed! Benfica star sidelined with tendonitis | OneFootball

Benfica fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as Vangelis Pavlidis did not suffer a serious injury. The striker was injured while playing for the Greek National Team last Saturday, November 14, raising concerns about a more serious problem.

Vangelis Pavlidis started the last match for the Greek National Team, which took place last Saturday, November 16. The Greek forward even participated in the first goal but fell to the ground in pain, after a collision with an opponent at the 40th minute.

Pavlidis tried to return to the field after receiving assistance, but eventually signaled that he needed to be substituted, raising concerns at Benfica about his physical condition. As Glorioso 1904 had already reported, the forward was to be re-evaluated this Sunday to understand the extent of the injury.

This evaluation brought good news for Benfica. The injury that led to Vangelis Pavlidis' substitution is not a serious problem, as it is a tendinitis, according to information reported by the newspaper Record this Sunday, November 16.

The forward has thus been released from the Greek National Team duties, and will miss the game against Belarus. However, this situation will hasten his return to Benfica, where he will now focus on recovering from the injury sustained during the international break.
