Doubts over Amar Dedić open door for Benfica signing | OneFootball

Alexander Bah is gaining momentum to take over the right side of the defense. Based on the information reported, Amar Dedić’s current physical condition is causing some concern, which could favor the Dane at a time when Benfica is entering the final stretch of the championship.

According to the newspaper A Bola, Benfica’s number 6 appears to have shown that he is fully fit to be included among José Mourinho’s options. In addition, given the physical issues faced by Dedić, Bah is increasingly likely to be the starting right-back for the Eagles in the remaining rounds of the Liga Portugal Betclic.

So far, since returning from the injury that kept him off the pitch for more than a year, Bah has already started in three Benfica matches, against AFS (3-0), Arouca (2-1) and, more recently, Vitória de Guimarães (3-0). Moreover, it is already known that the Dane is expected to start the match against Casa Pia, due to the Bosnian’s suspension.

On the other hand, his call-up to the Denmark national team also works in Bah’s favor when it comes to selection for Benfica’s defense. After a very positive display against North Macedonia, where the Danes won 4-0, there is a strong possibility that Bah will keep his place in the starting lineup against Czechia this Tuesday, March 31.

José Mourinho hopes to have the squad in peak condition in time for the derby against Sporting, scheduled for April 19, at Alvalade.
