Bruno Lage sought quick reaction to Benfica v Santa Clara, good news too | OneFootball

Benfica trained early the next morning after the match with Santa Clara. Bruno Lage didn't want to waste time reacting to the less positive result that the eagles accumulated against the Azorean team, last Friday, September 12, in a game counting for the fifth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Remember that the eagles already know the referee for the next challenge.

Benfica played at 6:30 pm on Friday, and the eagles saw the three points escape very close to the final whistle of the match referee. Bruno Lage wanted to react immediately, and there was no rest for the players, since the red team had a training session early the next morning, at Seixal Campus.

The truth is that the schedule is tight and at this stage of the season there is no time to lose. After the draw on Friday, the eagles immediately began preparing for the match with Qarabag, for the first round of the Champions League phase, scheduled for 8:00 pm next Tuesday, September 16 - that is, just four days after the game for the Liga Portugal Betclic.

Despite the result not being the best in the Benfica - Santa Clara, Bruno Lage even received some good news regarding what is coming: the Club da Luz did not register any physical conditioning in any of its players, and the same ones that were available before the match with the Azorean team continue to be available.

The squad thus remains with five casualties: Bah, Manu Silva, Nuno Félix, Bruma, Dedic and Lukebakio continue to recover from their respective physical problems, and are out of the game for Benfica - Qarabag, which is played at 8:00 pm next Tuesday, at Estádio da Luz.
