Marco Silva removes Tiago Gouveia and Bruma from Benfica training | OneFootball

Marco Silva has removed Tiago Gouveia and Bruma from Benfica training, and neither will be considered against Hearts. According to Glorioso 1904, the pair have been taken out of sessions at Seixal at the start of 2026/27.

The former Fulham head coach is reshaping the squad and has told both wingers they are not in his plans for the coming season. They are free to find new clubs.

Gouveia was close to departing this summer, with a move to Mexican side Atlas almost agreed, but the transfer collapsed over demands from the winger’s agent.

Bruma, 31 and a Portugal international, began pre-season with the group but did not convince Silva. The coach spoke to him directly, outlining that minutes would be scarce if he stayed.

Bruma has been linked with clubs in Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Greece, yet no formal offer has arrived.

Both players remain outside first-team sessions while solutions are sought.
