Benfica sets its sights on Arouca and José Mourinho is already feeling major headaches. According to reports, the coach of the Luz Club is preparing for the visit to Arouca with four players in doubt, who left the Classic against Porto with complaints.

It's worth remembering that the captain and the number 18 were in doubt until the day of the Classic, with the Argentine starting. However, he showed some complaints and was eventually replaced by António Silva. The Luxembourger, on the other hand, entered during the match and even saved a point for Benfica.

In the case of Lukebakio, the Belgian was Mourinho's choice during the match, replacing Gianluca Prestianni, but he also ended up with complaints. Sudakov, on the other hand, continues to feel some back pain, an injury that has kept him off the field in recent weeks.

The same source reports that Otamendi, at the end of the match, revealed that he had suffered a strong blow in the Classic, which left his foot numb. However, he admitted to being ready to play in Arouca. Remember that the match is scheduled for March 14, at 8:30 PM.
