Marco Silva could welcome Leandro Barreiro back for Benfica v St. Gallen | OneFootball

Marco Silva could welcome Leandro Barreiro back for Benfica’s second meeting with St. Gallen, with the midfielder recovering from a respiratory infection.

According to Glorioso 1904, the Luxembourg international is now fit for selection, though his condition will be monitored until the final training session.

He missed the first game after failing to train on the eve of the trip to Switzerland, watching on as Benfica lost 2-1.

If there are no setbacks, he should be included in the squad for the tie at Estádio da Luz.

His return would be a welcome lift for Marco Silva, who wants every option available for a decisive night. Benfica need to overturn the deficit to remain in the competition and avoid a premature European exit.

Backed by their supporters at Estádio da Luz, the hosts will look to produce a strong response against St. Gallen.
