Alarm bells ring: Enzo Barrenechea a doubt for Benfica’s upcoming matches | OneFootball

Enzo Barrenchea received his fourth yellow card in the Liga Portugal Betclic during Benfica’s last match against Santa Clara, and is now at risk for the upcoming games for the Eagles in the national championship. The Argentine midfielder, a starter under Bruno Lage since the beginning of the season, arrived at Luz during the summer transfer window.

The reinforcement brought in by Bruno Lage for Benfica’s midfield has pleased the fans with his performances since joining Benfica, but up until the game against Santa Clara, he had accumulated a worrying statistic, with three yellow cards in three matches played in the Liga Portugal Betclic.

In the match against the Azoreans, he did not commit any fouls worthy of a yellow card, but João Pinheiro still ended up showing the card to Enzo Barrenechea, when the Argentine midfielder asked for a second card for Gabriel Silva, for a challenge on Prestianni.

In this way, he accumulated his fourth yellow card in as many games in the national championship. This means that Enzo Barrenechea is just one card away from being suspended for a match with Benfica in the Liga Portugal Betclic, something that concerns the technical staff of the Eagles.

In the next match, Benfica will visit AVS SAD, a game in which Enzo Barrenechea is expected to participate, as he has done so far. If he receives a yellow card in that match, he will be suspended and miss the Eagles’ game against Rio Ave, in the rescheduled match from the first round of the national championship.
