Injured Benfica player sends message to fans: I’ll train harder than ever | OneFootball

Enzo Barrenechea took to social media to respond to the injury that has temporarily kept him out of competition. The Benfica midfielder left a short message where he showed confidence in the recovery process and a desire to return to the pitch quickly.

“This moment requires patience, faith, and a lot of hard work,” wrote José Mourinho’s protégé, acknowledging that he is going through a delicate phase, but without giving up. The midfielder also assured that he will give his all during this period away from the team: “I will train harder than ever and trust the process to come back as soon as possible,” he wrote.

The Argentine’s words received several supportive reactions from teammates such as Andreas Schjelderup, Gianluca Prestianni, and Dodi Lukebakio, in a clear sign of unity around the player, who is now focusing all his attention on recovery so he can return to help the team.

The athlete has a traumatic subluxation of the right shoulder, and the decision was made for “conservative treatment,” as explained by José Mourinho in the preview of the match against Braga, for the semi-finals of the Allianz Cup. Thus, the Eagles still hope that the midfielder will recover in time to face Porto in the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Enzo Barrenechea — valued at 15 million euros — has played in 29 of the 31 official matches the Eagles have played so far: 15 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, and one each in the Super Cup and League Cup. In the 2,374 minutes he was on the pitch, he recorded one goal and one assist.
