After Benfica v Vitória de Guimarães, Mourinho left 'lost' in Seixal | OneFootball

Benfica is going through the international break with several absences in the squad, reducing the 'available options' for José Mourinho in Seixal. Most of the main squad players have been called up to their respective national teams.

Among those who remain are names like Samuel Soares, Samuel Dahl, Enzo Barrenechea, Manu Silva, Rafa Silva, Franjo Ivanovic, and Henrique Araújo. They are joined by young players like Prioste, João Rego, and Gonçalo Oliveira.

In the group unavailable due to physical reasons are still Bruma and Fredrik Aursnes, who remain in recovery. The international break presents an opportunity to speed up the return of some players.

After the victory against Vitória de Guimarães (3-0), the Eagles' squad was granted a few days of rest. However, many of the starters immediately joined their respective national teams, reducing their recovery time.

The break comes after a demanding schedule, which only eased after the elimination from the Champions League against Real Madrid.
