Anísio Cabral trains with Juventus striker, Benfica abuzz | OneFootball

The summer holidays are still being used by several footballers to stay in shape ahead of the start of the new season, but Anísio Cabral ended up drawing attention by training alongside Juventus forward Lois Openda.

The young Benfica striker shared training sessions with the Belgium international, who spent the last few days in Portugal. The two forwards worked on several finishing drills and made sure to share images from the sessions on social media.

Anísio Cabral, just 18 years old, reports to Seixal this Thursday to begin pre-season training under Marco Silva. The forward already knows he will be part of the Eagles’ first-team squad next season.

As for Lois Openda, the 26-year-old striker is preparing to return to Juventus training, the club that acquired his rights on a permanent deal after his spell at Leipzig. Last season, the Belgian scored just two goals wearing the Vecchia Signora shirt.

Benfica return to training on June 25, although several first-team players are still away with their national teams at the World Cup. Given that scenario, Marco Silva has already defined an expanded group of young talents to join the team’s first days of preparation.

José Neto, Anísio Cabral and Daniel Banjaqui, Under-17 world champions who already have experience with the first team, are expected to be part of pre-season training. Alongside them, João Fonseca, Mauro Furtado, João Veloso, Rafael Quintas and Jaden Umeh should also be given an opportunity to show what they can do to the coaching staff.
