Manu Silva delights Benfica fans, Mourinho rubbing his hands | OneFootball

Manu Silva is close to returning to the pitch. The midfielder has already trained, albeit in a somewhat limited capacity, in Tuesday's training session, on October 14, which was led by José Mourinho and was completely open to the media.

The midfielder did individual work, alongside Georgiy Sudakov, who suffered an injury while on duty with the Ukrainian national team. Pavlidis, Ivanovic, Leandro Santos, Dedic, João Veloso, João Rego, Wynder, and Trubin have returned from the FIFA break and trained without restrictions.

Absent were Bah – who was authorized to travel to Denmark – Diogo Ferreira (gym work), Bruma, and Nuno Félix (injury). To make up for some absences, José Mourinho called up the youngsters Ricardo Ribeiro, Ivan Lima, and José Melro.

The Reds will return to work next Wednesday, October 15. The training session will follow the usual format and, on Thursday, the Eagles' squad will travel by plane to Porto, then continue by bus to Chaves.

Benfica will be back on the field next Friday, October 17, against Chaves, in a Taça de Portugal match. The game against the team led by Filipe Martins will be played at 7:30 pm at Engenheiro Manuel Branco Teixeira.
