Marco Silva boosted as Fredrik Aursnes returns before Benfica v Aarhus | OneFootball

Benfica received a timely lift on Wednesday morning as Fredrik Aursnes returned to training ahead of the Europa League meeting with Aarhus.

According to Glorioso 1904, the Norway international rejoined the squad for the final session before the game, having recently been sidelined by gastroenteritis.

If selected against the Danish side, Aursnes could make his 200th appearance for Benfica, marking a significant milestone.

The session also brought other medical updates. Jaden Umeh underwent treatment, while Joshua Wynder continued his gradual reintegration into team training.

Benfica face Aarhus on Thursday at 20:00, with Aursnes’s involvement adding an extra option for Marco Silva as he finalises his plans. His presence in training is an encouraging step and raises interest over a possible role in the squad.
