Out of the Benfica squad, here’s the latest on Alexander Bah | OneFootball

Alexander Bah has been sidelined from the pitch for almost a year. The right-back suffered a serious injury during the match against Moreirense in February 2025 and, since then, has been going through a long ordeal. However, the main concern for Benfica is that there is still no set date for the Dane’s return.

According to the newspaper Record, in its Wednesday, February 4th edition, the Denmark international is still in the final phase of his recovery, where he has been present on the pitch, but has only been doing individual field exercises. The most optimistic prognosis points to a return between March and April.

It is certain that Benfica is dealing with two very different medical cases. Like Bah, Manu Silva also suffered the same injury in the same game, but the midfielder signed from Vitória de Guimarães has already returned to competition last November, just eight months after being sidelined.

As the sports daily points out, it has been a very complicated year for Benfica’s number 6. Between surgeries, treatments, and gym work, the Dane has been fully committed to the Eagles’ medical department. Helping Bah get through this difficult phase is the special attention he gives to his twins, who were born in 2025.

In the 2024/25 season, playing for Benfica, Alexander Bah - valued at 9 million euros - played a total of 29 official matches: 18 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, and two in the League Cup. In the 2,175 minutes he spent on the pitch, the right-back recorded two goals and three assists.
