All eyes on Benfica v Santa Clara, Bruno Lage receives good news | OneFootball

Leandro Barreiro was the first international player to return to Benfica, after completing his commitments with the Luxembourg national team. This was one of the updates for Bruno Lage in the first training session of the week, marking the return of the team to Seixal, in preparation for the match against Santa Clara.

According to the newspaper Record, the number 18, who had been serving the Luxembourg national team, managed to arrive in time for another training session, led by Bruno Lage. However, as the source mentioned, the midfielder only did recovery training, considering the journey he had undertaken.

However, Leandro Barreiro was not the only player to return to Benfica Campus today. The sports daily adds that Joshua Wynder, a young central defender, has already returned from his commitments with the United States U-20 national team, however, he did not arrive in time to attend the training session.

Leandro Barreiro, who joined Benfica last season, played the full 90 minutes in both matches for the Luxembourg national team, which were part of the qualification process. However, the midfielder was not fortunate and suffered two defeats, against Northern Ireland (3-1) and more recently against Slovakia (1-0).

Leandro Barreiro has always been a player who earned opportunities and trust from Bruno Lage. In the current season, the number 18 - valued at 15 million euros - has so far played eight official matches: four in the Champions League qualifiers, three in the Liga Portugal Betclic, and one in the Super Cup. In the 327 minutes he was on the field, he provided two assists.
