Marco Silva expects boost in time for Milan v Benfica | OneFootball

Alexander Bah will be out for Sunday’s match against Gil Vicente at the Estádio da Luz, kicking off at 6 p.m., on matchday six of the league. The 28-year-old Danish right-back, who has made the position his own since Amar Dedic’s departure to Newcastle, suffered trauma to his right shoulder in the game against Marítimo. However, there is good news in the short term.

Bah’s recovery is continuing to progress as expected, and the Danish international is feeling better, but he will not be available for the clash with the Minho side. There is, however, hope that he could be available for the Europa League league-phase opener against Milan on Wednesday at San Siro.

Even with that possibility, Benfica do not want to take any risks with the Nordic player’s return. Marco Silva, on the one hand, trusts Daniel Banjaqui and after the duel with Ruben Amorim’s team comes the classic against Porto at the Dragão the following weekend.

Benfica face Milan next Wednesday, September 16. The match, corresponding to the first round of the Europa League league phase, against the side coached by Ruben Amorim, will be played at 8:00 p.m. at San Siro.
