Benfica returned to training this Wednesday, October 15. José Mourinho was finally able to count on António Silva, Lukebakio, Obrador, Gonçalo Oliveira, and Leandro Barreiro, who had been absent from the last sessions due to international commitments.

Still out of the Benfica coach’s plans are Andreas Schjelderup, Nicolás Otamendi, and Richard Ríos, along with the injured Bruma and Nuno Félix, who remain under the care of the medical department. Alexander Bah, also dealing with physical issues, was authorized to travel to Denmark.
