Georgiy Sudakov brings great news to Benfica fans | OneFootball

Although he was in doubt for Chaves - Benfica, Georgiy Sudakov is among José Mourinho’s call-ups.

Georgiy Sudakov has recovered from an injury sustained while playing for Ukraine and has been called up for the match against Chaves, valid for the Portuguese Cup. The playmaker traveled with the Benfica squad, which left Lisbon this Thursday.

In the pre-match press conference, José Mourinho confirmed he will make changes to the starting eleven. Samuel Soares will start and replace Anatoliy Trubin, Benfica’s usual goalkeeper. The Special One also guaranteed that Richard Ríos will not play against the Flavienses.

The Colombian international midfielder was not even called up by José Mourinho, getting extended rest after the FIFA break. While on duty for his country, Benfica’s summer signing played 78 minutes against Canada in the early hours of October 15.

Check out the full squad list:

Goalkeepers: Trubin, Samuel Soares, and Leonardo Lopes.

Defenders: Otamendi, Leandro Santos, Dahl, Wynder, Dedic, Tomás Araújo, and António Silva.
