Trubin or Samuel Soares, Banjaqui or Bah? Marco Silva’s Porto - Benfica selection calls | OneFootball

Marco Silva faces selection calls for Porto - Benfica after he overhauled his XI in Milan, where Benfica won 2-0 with the fringe players impressing.

According to Glorioso 1904, most of those who started in Milan are set to return to the bench at the Dragão. Beyond regulars Tomás Araújo and João Palhinha, Aursnes is viewed as the only Milan starter with a strong chance of keeping his place.

The Norwegian’s early-season fitness issues limited his minutes, but Silva has repeatedly stressed his value. With his condition close to peak, Aursnes is expected to figure in Porto.

Elsewhere, Samuel Soares is tipped to reclaim the gloves. Lenglet should partner Tomás Araújo in central defence, with Dahl expected on the left and Bah in line to resume at right-back.

In support of the attack, Prestianni and Rafa are poised to return, and Pavlidis is set to lead the line. One slot remains open, with Sudakov, Schjelderup or Leandro Barreiro competing for it. The mission for the visitors is clear, win at the Dragão.
