Amar Dedic could still bring good news before Benfica v Qarabag | OneFootball

Amar Dedic is doubtful for Benfica - Qarabag, and his participation in the Champions League match has not been ruled out by Bruno Lage. The Eagles will make their debut in the 2025/26 edition of the prestigious competition next Tuesday, September 16, and the Bosnian is the only player who might still recover in time for the game.

This information was reported by the newspaper A Bola. Amar Dedic was present at the training session of Benfica this Monday, September 15, as observed by journalists during the 15 minutes that the Luz Club’s training was open to the media.

According to the national press, Amar Dedic will undergo a final test on match day to determine whether he will be ready to take the field against Qarabag. For Bruno Lage, he would be an important ‘reinforcement’, as the Portuguese coach would otherwise have to make an adaptation or field Leandro Santos, the only natural right-back available in the squad.

It should be recalled that Amar Dedic suffered a sprain in his right knee while on duty with the Bosnia national team, and has been recovering since then. The Benfica right-back already missed the Eagles’ match against Santa Clara and is now racing to return in time to face Qarabag.

Benfica will host Qarabag next Tuesday, September 16, at 8:00 PM at Estádio da Luz. The match is part of the first round of the Champions League. In addition to the Azerbaijani team, Bruno Lage’s side will face Chelsea (away), Newcastle (away), Bayer Leverkusen (home), Ajax (away), Napoli (home), Juventus (away), and Real Madrid (home).
