On Tuesday, Benfica held their final training session before hosting Bayer Leverkusen for the Champions League. In Seixal, Amar Dedic was the big news for José Mourinho, being available for the match, in which he is expected to start.

Dedic was recovering from a left thigh adductor injury, sustained in Newcastle. The full-back missed the last three matches for the team, but will be an option for José Mourinho, in a game of utmost importance for Benfica, who have yet to score in the Champions League.

Later today, at 2:00 PM, José Mourinho and a player yet to be named will preview the match against the pharmaceutical team. Kasper Hjulmand, Bayer Leverkusen's coach, will also speak to the press at Estádio da Luz at 7:00 PM.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Amar Dedic – valued at 13 million euros – has played 16 matches. In the 1,357 minutes he was on the field, the Bosnian full-back scored one goal (Alverca) and provided one assist (Tondela).

The Eagles now turn their attention to the Champions League, where they will face Bayer Leverkusen. The match, taking place at Estádio da Luz, is scheduled for next Wednesday, November 5th, with kick-off at 8:00 PM.
