Breaking: Benfica get three boosts, but one may miss St Gallen | OneFootball

Benfica held another training session in preparation for their upcoming official matches, and Marco Silva had three important new additions to the squad. The main highlight was Jhon Durán, who completed his first training session wearing the Eagles shirt, alongside Amar Dedic and Tomás Araújo, both back after their holidays.

at a time when Benfica are preparing for the second qualifying round tie of the Europa League against St. Gallen.

Although he is already training with the team, Jhon Durán is not yet part of the initial list of 22 players submitted by Benfica to UEFA. However, the Eagles can register two more footballers until 11:59 p.m. this Wednesday, on the eve of the first match against the Swiss side, thus keeping open the possibility of the Colombian being called up.

In addition to the new striker, Amar Dedic and Tomás Araújo were also present at training. The Bosnian right-back and the Portuguese centre-back returned after taking part in the World Cup, where they represented Bosnia and Herzegovina and Portugal respectively, and both are already registered for European competitions.

With the squad getting closer and closer to being complete, Marco Silva now has more options available to prepare for the challenges ahead. The integration of the three players represents an important boost to the coach’s options as he continues fine-tuning the team before their official debut in the new season.
