Lukebakio celebrates Arouca win for Benfica and makes a promise | OneFootball

Dodi Lukebakio did not hide his happiness about returning to the starting lineup. Following Benfica's victory in Arouca, the Belgian international, who had been injured in recent months, took to social media to send a message of confidence for the upcoming games of the team.

"More minutes in the bank. Feels good! We continue to give our best", wrote the number 11, who, almost four months later, was selected for Benfica's starting lineup, something that hadn't happened since the international break in November, where Lukebakio got injured in the match against Liechtenstein.

It is worth mentioning that Lukebakio had been part of José Mourinho's options since mid-February, however, the Belgian international was not yet at his full physical capacity, a justification the Special One gave to explain the lack of playing time the player was experiencing, but now the athlete seems to have started a new chapter.

However, while Lukebakio seems to be regaining his status before the injury, there are other reinforcements for the team who are going through a more challenging phase. Sidny Cabral, signed in January, hasn't played since February 25 and was left out of the match sheet in Arouca.
