João Nuno faces headaches ahead of Benfica v Estrela da Amadora | OneFootball

The coach of Estrela da Amadora, João Nuno, has a headache for the visit to Benfica in the 19th round of the League, scheduled for Sunday, after the heavy defeat against Estoril (0-5). Abraham Marcus and Jovane Cabral are suspended for the next round, thus missing the duel at Estádio da Luz.

Abraham Marcus, a winger trained at Porto, was sent off in the 45th minute after assaulting former Benfica player João Carvalho during a quick tricolor transition. Marcus started in 10 of the 11 matches played by the tricolors under the management of João Nuno.

Meanwhile, Jovane Cabral, a former Sporting athlete, received a yellow card in the 92nd minute, his fifth of the current League edition, and will serve a suspension against the eagles. João Nuno's creative player is one of Estrela's key figures, scoring three goals this season.

In the first round of the championship, Benfica defeated Estrela at Estádio José Gomes, in Reboleira, by 1-0, with a penalty goal by Vangelis Pavlidis. This was the debut match for the reds in the national competition.

The next match against the team from Linha de Sintra is scheduled for Sunday, the 25th, as part of the 19th round of the competition, at Estádio da Luz, with exclusive broadcast on BTV, where the reds aim to pursue the league leadership.
