Mourinho gets major boost in training ahead of Benfica-Arouca | OneFootball

Gianluca Prestianni was the big surprise at Friday’s training session, October 24. The Argentina U-20 international has already joined the squad under José Mourinho’s orders, who is preparing for Benfica’s next match. The Eagles will be in action tomorrow, October 25, as they host Arouca at Estádio da Luz.

In the final training session before the 9th round match of Liga Portugal Betclic, the Reds allowed the media to watch the first 15 minutes, during which the young Argentine’s presence was noticeable. However, the changes didn’t stop there.

In addition to Prestianni, the Special One also included Gonçalo Sobral, the young goalkeeper who is part of Benfica’s B team and U-23 squad. On the other hand, Diogo Ferreira, Leandro Santos, Gonçalo Oliveira, Diogo Prioste, and João Veloso were absent, as they will be included in the secondary squad’s call-up for the match against Feirense.

On the bright side, Manu Silva is increasingly integrated into the squad, having once again taken part in today’s session. Meanwhile, Alexander Bah continues to work on his return, training individually. Before heading back to the gym, the Dane had a chat with José Mourinho.

The only absences due to injury, besides Bruma and Nuno Félix, were Amar Dedic, who is dealing with a muscle injury. The Bosnia international is a confirmed absence for the match against Arouca. Remember, the match is scheduled for tomorrow, October 25, at Estádio da Luz. Kick-off is set for 20:39.
