Benfica counting potential absences in the coming days | OneFootball

18 is the number of players that Benfica lost during this international break, which will complicate the work of José Mourinho, who will have to continue preparing the upcoming commitments of the reds. According to what was learned, during the day yesterday, October 8, the Special One led another training session, but it did not have the desired impact.

According to what the newspaper A Bola was able to find out, the Setubal helmsman was quite limited in carrying out certain exercises on the playing field, due to the scarce number of available athletes. According to the same source, Mourinho only counted on seven athletes from the eagles' squad. However, it ends up being a more robust number than in the previous break.

Thus, the Special One still counted on the presence of goalkeeper Samuel Soares, defenders Tomás Araújo and Samuel Dahl, midfielders Fredril Aursnes, Enzo Barrenechea Diogo Prioste, Henrique Araújo was the only forward in training. Apart from that, the injured continue to work on their recovery plans.

Now, as had already been advanced the previous day, these seven footballers will enjoy a four-day break and will only return next Monday, October 13. However, Alexander Bah, Manu Silva, Nuno Félix and Bruma will continue to make their presence felt in Seixal, in order to continue their recoveries.

Benfica enters another international break, which will come to an end next week, on the eve of the eagles facing Desportivo Chaves, a match counting for the Portugal Cup. This will be the first match of another hellish cycle of games that the Club da Luz will face.
