Take note, Bruno Lage! Fresh update on Benfica’s first-choice player | OneFootball

Amar Dedic suffered a traumatic sprain of the right knee. This is the result of the medical reassessment to which the player was subjected after his arrival at Humberto Delgado Airport. Based on the number of recovery days, Bruno Lage can thus rule out a serious injury.

The athlete, who was absent from Benfica training due to international commitments, was injured last night, September 9, during the match between Bosnia and Austria. However, the medical department of Clube da Luz evaluated the athlete's situation and considered that it is not a serious injury, as was initially expected.

According to what the newspaper Record writes in this afternoon's edition, the athlete, who was already going to miss the match against Santa Clara due to being sent off against Alverca, will thus be sidelined for an average of 15 days. However, considering the schedule of the team, Dedic will certainly miss next week's matches against Qarabag, for the Champions League, and AVS SAD, for the 6th round of the National Championship.

On the other hand, since it is not a very serious injury, everything indicates that the player may recover in time to be included in Bruno Lage's choices for the Classic against Porto, scheduled for October 5, at Estádio do Dragão. On the Porto side, the biggest doubt centers on Alberto Costa.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Amar Dedic – valued at 12 million euros – has played eight matches: four in the Champions League, three in the Liga Portugal Betclic, and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 674 minutes he was used, the full-back scored one goal (Alverca) and provided one assist (Tondela).
