Georgiy Sudakov is a doubt for Benfica’s trip to Real Madrid after suffering lower back pain.

According to Glorioso 1904, José Mourinho left the Ukrainian midfielder out of the squad for the 3-0 league win on Saturday, 21 February, against the bottom side because of the problem.

The condition typically requires three to 10 days of recovery.

Benfica visit the Santiago Bernabéu for the second leg of the Champions League play-off for a place in the last 16. They trail 1-0 after the first leg at the Luz and must overturn the deficit in Madrid.

Sudakov has made 33 appearances this season, 19 in Liga Portugal Betclic, nine in the Champions League, three in the Taça de Portugal and two in the Taça da Liga, totalling 2,268 minutes with four goals and five assists. His potential absence could be significant.
