Unhappy Benfica player looked far from pleased against Ac. Viseu | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin’s situation continues to draw attention, and the Ukrainian goalkeeper once again cut an unpleasant figure ahead of another Benfica match. The 25-year-old international appeared visibly downcast and somewhat isolated, in a sign that did not go unnoticed at the Estádio da Luz.

The moment came even before kick-off against Académico de Viseu, during the pitch inspection. As the players arrived, the goalkeeper looked stern-faced and kept apart from the rest of the group.

Later, it became clear that the Ukrainian had once again started the match on the bench, repeating the scenario seen against Hearts in the Europa League. Samuel Soares was once again chosen to start in goal, while the number ‘1’ watched the match from the bench. It is worth remembering that Trubin had posted a controversial message on social media.

The incident comes at a particularly delicate time for the player. It should be remembered that Trubin feels underappreciated at the Eagles and wants to leave the club in this summer transfer window. Losing his status as first-choice goalkeeper could therefore take on special importance in deciding his future.

The image he gave off before the draw with Académico de Viseu only adds further doubt over whether the international will remain at the Luz. After once again falling behind Samuel Soares in the pecking order for the goalkeeping spot, the goalkeeper now faces a situation that could have consequences in the immediate future, at a time when the transfer window remains open.
