Mourinho: no surprises, but good news before Juventus v Benfica | OneFootball

José Mourinho led another training session, the final one before the trip to Turin, and received some positive news. According to reports, the training session of the Benfica squad included the presence of some injured players, with special mention to Dodi Lukebakio.

As revealed by the newspaper A Bola, through images released by the Clube da Luz, the Belgian international, who is recovering from ankle surgery, was present on the Seixal pitch, where he greeted Mário Branco, the general director for football, who has been active in the transfer market in recent days.

Like the number 11, Aleander Bah, Joshua Wynder, and Samuel Soares were other names who also appeared on the training ground at Seixal. Although they were not integrated into the group training under José Mourinho, the players carried out several running sessions and individual exercises, essential for their physical recovery.

Aside from that, the Portuguese coach once again worked with the core group of the squad, who have been training together in recent weeks. For now, the Special One knows he still cannot count on several players. In addition to the names previously mentioned, Richard Ríos and Nuno Félix are also absent.

It should be remembered that Benfica is scheduled to face Juventus next Wednesday, January 21, at 8:00 PM in Turin. Later today, the Portuguese coach will preview the match, accompanied by a player, at 7:00 PM. On the Vecchia Signora side, Luciano Spalletti is facing a headache.
