Marco Silva gets Benfica boost in time for St. Gallen games | OneFootball

received good news ahead of the official start of the 2026/27 season. Amar Dedic has finished his participation in the 2026 World Cup with Bosnia and Herzegovina and is expected to be available for Benfica’s two matches against St. Gallen in the Europa League qualifying rounds.

The national team was eliminated by the United States of America in the round of 32 of the competition (2-0), bringing the right-back’s international campaign to an end. After exiting the tournament, the player will now take a short holiday before returning to training in Seixal.

Despite missing the first training sessions led by Marco Silva, the wide player is expected to be fit enough to be included among the coach’s options for the club’s first official matches of the season. As such, he emerges as an important reinforcement for a position where Alexander Bah and Daniel Banjaqui are also options.

The Bosnia international is under contract until June 2030 and is protected by a release clause set at €50 million. With his return already on the horizon, Marco Silva could have another major option available for the start of the new season.

Last season, Amar Dedic made 43 appearances in the red shirt, scoring one goal and providing four assists. The defender’s performances cemented his importance within the squad, making him one of the trusted options on the right flank.
