Mourinho faces two new headaches before Vitória v Benfica | OneFootball

José Mourinho will begin preparations for the match against Vitória de Guimarães with two headaches. At the end of the match against Arouca, Benfica learned that António Silva and Amar Dedic will be confirmed absences for the 27th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.

In the case of Amar Dedic, the Bosnian player will miss the match due to receiving a direct red card, following confrontations with Trezza. However, the number 17 is still awaiting a final decision: whether he will serve only a one-match suspension, or face a harsher penalty due to the violent behavior he displayed on the field.

Thus, José Mourinho already knows he will not be able to count on the two players, at a time when the coach returns to the bench after serving a one-match suspension following the red card he received in the Classic against Porto (2-2).

This season, playing for Benfica, Amar Dedic - valued at 15 million euros - has already played a total of 37 official matches: 18 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 14 in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 3,097 minutes he was on the pitch, the Bosnian recorded one goal and three assists.
