Mourinho may tweak Chelsea XI last minute for Benfica clash | OneFootball

Benfica may face Chelsea without Amar Dedic. The right-back, 23 years old, continues to suffer from issues with his right knee, a situation that has caused concern within the club's structure and may lead José Mourinho to consider his use to avoid further complications.

“Amar Dedic, Bosnian right-back for Benfica, still has his right knee bandaged. The defender returned from the national team with a sprain and still requires caution. Tomás Araújo may step in if Mourinho sees reason for a change,” reports the newspaper A Bola, in this Tuesday's edition, September 30.

It is important to remember that, after the Champions League clash against Chelsea, Benfica will head to Estádio do Dragão to face Porto – which will have a significant absence –, in a game of extreme importance for José Mourinho's team, given the points deficit in the Liga Portugal Betclic.

This season, wearing Benfica's jersey, Amar Dedic – valued at 12 million euros – has played 12 matches: six in the Liga Portugal Betclic, five in the Champions League, and one in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 1,024 minutes he has played, the defender scored one goal (Alverca) and made one assist (Tondela).

The Chelsea – Benfica match is scheduled for this Tuesday, September 30, at 20:00, at Stamford Bridge, and pertains to the second round of the Champions League group stage. After the surprising home defeat against Qarabag, the team seeks to secure their first victory in this edition of the prestigious competition.
