Focused on his return, Benfica star shares heartfelt message | OneFootball

Richard Ríos cannot hide the longing he feels for the pitch. As observed, the Colombian midfielder shared an image on social media expressing his desire to help Benfica, while he is currently recovering from an injury.

Through his official Instagram account, the number 20 posted a photo last Friday, February 6, of the team in the center of the Estádio da Luz pitch, during the usual gathering before any match. Accompanying the photo, Ríos wrote: "Miss it! ❤️🤍".

The recovery from the shoulder injury has been a complicated process for Ríos, who has shown some impatience to return to the field. Recently, it was noted that the Colombian was quite disappointed to miss the match against Real Madrid, where Benfica won 4-2.

It is worth remembering that the Colombian has not played since January 14, when he suffered the shoulder injury. Since then, Ríos has been committed to returning as quickly as possible to José Mourinho's options and, according to rumors in the press, the return date might coincide with the first leg of the Champions League playoff, precisely against the Spanish giant.

In the current season, wearing Benfica's jersey, Richard Ríos — valued at 22 million euros — has played 32 matches: 16 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, two in the League Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 2,622 minutes he played, the midfielder scored three goals and made two assists.
