Mourinho’s Benfica keep an eye on Porto – Red Star and good news ahead | OneFootball

Porto – Red Star ended with the triumph of the dragons, by 2-1, and José Mourinho's Benfica was one of the most attentive spectators. The news coming from Estádio do Dragão turns out to be positive, given that Samu did not play and, during the warm-up, appeared with knee protection.

Remember that, during Porto's visit to Arouca's ground, Samu ended up leaving injured at halftime and is in doubt for the classic against Benfica. Despite being called up for the Europa League clash, the Spanish under-21 international of the dragons is a big question mark.

At the end of the match, Francesco Farioli was asked about Porto – Benfica, but did not want to address the classic against the eagles for now, leaving statements for the preview of the eighth round of the championship: “It's time to think about the next training session and then we'll have time for that.”

Meanwhile, Pepê, who played in the second half of the Europa League second round clash against Red Star, considered that the clash against Benfica will be quite complicated: “Now it's time to rest. It's a difficult game, we have to work and dedicate ourselves to the maximum to play a great game.”

Porto – Benfica is scheduled for next Sunday, October 5th, at 9:15 PM, in a match related to the eighth round of Liga Portugal Betclic. José Mourinho's team visits Estádio do Dragão four points behind Farioli's team and is obliged to win to stay in the fight for the title.
