José Mourinho explained that the Benfica team is almost fully recovered from the virus they suffered from in recent days. The coach of the Clube da Luz spoke with journalists at a press conference previewing the classic match against Porto, and did not forget the scare the squad recently experienced.

"Everyone is in good health, we all trained today, everything is fine. No one is prevented from traveling or playing. No one will be left behind. We are all going", José Mourinho began explaining to the journalists present in the press room at the club's facilities.

The Benfica coach continued and revealed more details about the virus that impacted the team. José Mourinho responded to the question about a possible postponement of the game with Porto, and then provided more details about the squad's condition.

"No, it started in London. There is one player who is the main culprit, I know who it is and I joke with him (laughs), then it was me...", José Mourinho said, without wanting to reveal the identity of the person he suspects started the virus in the Benfica squad.

"It was concerning a couple of days ago, but today everyone trained. We even considered traveling to the North separately, but it won't be necessary. The trend is that tomorrow we will be better than today. But we did not consider postponement", José Mourinho concluded.
