Dedic worries Benfica, could upset Mourinho’s plans | OneFootball

Amar Dedic left the field injured during Benfica's heavy defeat in Newcastle (3-0). In the 61st minute, the full-back fell to the pitch clutching his left thigh and, such were his complaints that José Mourinho was forced to take the Bosnian off, who will now be assessed by the medical department.

Upon returning to Seixal, the Benfica officials will examine the Eagles' number 17 to determine the severity of the injury, which, if serious, will disrupt José Mourinho's plans, since Alexander Bah is still unavailable.

He had already suffered an injury while on international duty, which forced him to stop.

This season, wearing Benfica's shirt, Amar Dedic – valued at 13 million euros – has played 16 matches. In the 1,357 minutes he was on the pitch, the Bosnian full-back scored one goal (against Alverca) and provided one assist (against Tondela).

Benfica will be back in action next Saturday, October 25, at Estádio da Luz, against Arouca. The match against Vasco Seabra's team is part of the ninth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic and will kick off at 8:30 pm.
