Sudakov injury confirmed, Benfica star's image worries fans | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov, player for Benfica, is at risk of missing out, as it seems, on the squad's trip to Chaves on the upcoming October 17th. The Ukrainian player traveled to Portugal today - he was with the national team - and underwent a reassessment by the club's medical department.

Examinations revealed a trauma to the left shoulder with a slight acromioclavicular sprain. It is important to remember that this injury occurred around the 39th minute in the match between Ukraine and Iceland - a game that ended with a 5-3 victory - after a collision with an opponent.

After being released by Serhiy Rebrov, the player traveled to Portugal and is under the care of Benfica's professionals. Besides missing the second national team commitment (Azerbaijan), Sudakov's trip to Trás-os-Montes is at risk and he might arrive weakened for the visit to St. James Park, for the Champions League.

"After a clinical evaluation with additional diagnostic tests, it is informed that the athlete Sudakov suffered a direct trauma to the left shoulder with a slight acromioclavicular sprain. He is doubtful for Benfica's next match", the club informed in a press release.

Benfica will return to the field next Friday, October 17th, at 7:30 PM, at the Estádio Municipal Engenheiro Manuel Branco Teixeira, against Chaves. The match is part of the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team competing in Liga 2.
