Lukebakio makes decision that sends Benfica fans wild | OneFootball

After the match against Alverca – a Benfica victory by 2-1 – and the closing of the transfer window, Bruno Lage decided to grant four days off to all players who were not called up to their national teams. However, Dodi Lukebakio, chose to forgo this break in order to recover more quickly from his physical problem.

Therefore, while the rest of the squad will be able to rest in the coming days, the Belgian international – who was a deadline day signing – will be present at Benfica Campus, in order to resolve the issue that was detected in his medical exams, an injury that did not jeopardize the deal for the Reds.

The former Sevilla right winger, whose arrival at Glorioso was recently commented on by Quique Flores, is one of five players in the squad currently injured. Alongside the Belgian, Bruno Lage has also been without the services of Alexander Bah, Manu Silva, Nuno Félix, and Bruma.

On the other hand, it is worth noting that the Setúbal native gave time off to only seven players in the squad, as they are the only ones who were not called up to their respective national teams. However, among this group of footballers, only two, along with the five injured, have been regular options for the Benfiquista, such as Fredrik Aursnes and Enzo Barrenechea.

Dodi Lukebakio was one of Sevilla’s most influential players in recent seasons. In the current sporting season, the right winger – valued at 20 million euros – has played in two official matches, both in La Liga. In the 180 minutes he spent on the pitch, the number 10 scored one goal.
