Marco Silva leaves Alexander Bah out of Benfica squad for Milan trip | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, Marco Silva has omitted Alexander Bah from Benfica's squad for the trip to Milan, despite the full-back training on Tuesday. He is a confirmed absentee for the Europa League league phase opener.

The team reached Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon shortly after 14:00, then departed for Italy at 15:00. The decision confirms the defender is not yet ready to return to competition.

Even so, a return looks close. The Denmark international has been called up for the next internationals, including a Nations League meeting with Portugal.

At the airport, Jhon Durán was among the most in demand for photos with supporters. Club president Rui Costa was one of the last to step off the bus and offered no comment to the media.

Benfica face Milan at 20:00 on Wednesday in San Siro. Before that, Marco Silva and Alessandro Circati will speak to preview the match on Tuesday from 19:00 Portuguese time.

The travelling party features goalkeepers Trubin, Diogo Ferreira and Samuel Soares, defenders Lenglet, Alessandro Circati, Banjaqui, El Karouani, Tomás Araújo and Samuel Dahl, midfielders Sudakov, Leandro Barreiro, João Palhinha, Enzo Barrenechea, Manu Silva and Aursnes, and forwards Jhon Durán, Kaminski, Claudio Echeverri, Anísio Cabral, Rafa, Dodi Lukebakio, Andreas Schjelderup, Pavlidis and Gianluca Prestianni.
