José Mourinho hands major boosts to four young Benfica stars | OneFootball

José Mourinho led another Benfica training session this Thursday, November 27th. The Eagles’ coach is preparing for the next Liga Portugal Betclic match against Nacional da Madeira, following the victory over Ajax in the Champions League.

The training session took place in the morning at the Seixal Campus and featured four surprising names: Kevin Pinto, Tiago Freitas, Eduardo Fernandes, and Francisco Silva, four young players from the Benfica youth academy whom José Mourinho called up to train under his guidance.

These four new faces joined Gonçalo Oliveira and Rodrigo Rêgo, two youngsters who are becoming regulars in Benfica’s training sessions. Apart from that, José Mourinho had the main squad at his disposal, except for the four absentees due to injury.

Bah, Nuno Félix, Bruma, and Lukebakio are still recovering from injury and were not available to José Mourinho. In addition to this quartet, it’s worth remembering that the Eagles’ coach also cannot count on Richard Ríos for the match against Nacional da Madeira, as he is serving a suspension due to yellow card accumulation.

Benfica will look to build on the victory against Ajax in the fifth round of the Champions League. The match for the 12th round of Liga Portugal Betclic will be played away, on the island of Madeira, and is scheduled for next Saturday, November 29th, at 18:00.
