Exclusive: Schjelderup could struggle at Benfica | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup may lose his place in Bruno Lage's selections for Benfica's squad. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, our newspaper reveals that with the arrival of names like Georgiy Sudakov and Dodi Lukebakio, the Norwegian international might lose his starting status with the Eagles.

So far, Andreas Schjelderup has shown a very satisfactory level, having, for example, scored in the last match for Benfica against Alverca. However, if the young winger's performance drops, he could quickly find himself on the bench, given the quality of the options available to Bruno Lage.

With Fredrik Aursnes on the right flank playing an essential role in the team's balance, Andreas Schjelderup has been playing on the other side. However, the signing of players like Georgiy Sudakov and Dodi Lukebakio increases the competitiveness for a starting spot in Bruno Lage's team.

One aspect that many point out Andreas Schjelderup needs to improve is his defensive play. At 21 years old, the Norwegian international – who has been in the spotlight – 'disappears' from matches and unbalances the team positionally, which could influence Bruno Lage's choices.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Andreas Schjelderup – valued at 15 million euros – has played six matches: three in the Liga Portugal Betclic and three in the Champions League. In the 344 minutes he was on the field, the Norwegian international scored two goals and made two assists.
