Fredrik Aursnes breathes a sigh of relief ahead of Benfica v Leverkusen | OneFootball

Amar Dedic has recovered from injury and is expected to start in the Benfica - Bayer Leverkusen match. With the right flank of the defense closed, Fredrik Aursnes is likely to be freed up for more advanced areas, where he feels more comfortable.

The return of the Bosnian pushes Aursnes into Benfica's midfield, with the Norwegian also possibly playing closer to the left wing, allowing Georgiy Sudakov to move into more central areas, depending on the strategy planned by José Mourinho.

In recent matches, Aursnes played as a right-back due to the absence of the 'number 17'. The Benfica midfielder is the most versatile player in the entire squad, capable of playing various positions in midfield, as a winger, and as a full-back on both flanks.

At Clube da Luz, Fredrik Aursnes - currently valued at 20 million euros - is one of the most important players in the squad. This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, the Norwegian has played a total of 20 official matches in all competitions. In the 1,761 minutes he has been on the pitch, the midfielder has recorded two goals and two assists.

Benfica returns to the field this Wednesday, November 5th, against Bayer Leverkusen, in a Champions League match. The match against the team led by Kasper Hjulmand will be played at 8:00 PM, at Estádio da Luz.
