Benfica back in training, Mourinho hoping for updates | OneFootball

One day after returning to training, Benfica has a new training session scheduled for the afternoon of this Tuesday, October 14. With the match against Chaves in mind, José Mourinho returns to Seixal to fine-tune some strategies for the encounter with the Flavienses. According to reports, the Special One should already have more players available.

According to the newspaper Record, today’s training session is scheduled for 3:30 PM and, as informed by the Reds, will be open to the media. With about 18 players unavailable, José Mourinho is expected to start seeing some of his footballers return today.

Although there is still no official confirmation, the press reports that throughout the day, some players may already be present at Benfica Campus, Seixal. Among the possibilities is Dodi Lukebakio, who did not play any minutes with the Belgian national team, and Amar Dedic, who captained Bosnia in a friendly against Malta.

On the other hand, José Mourinho already knows that the last players to arrive at Benfica will be, as happened in September, Richard Ríos and Nicolás Otamendi. However, in the case of the Argentine, his return was delayed by a day due to unforeseen events with the Argentina national team.

It should be remembered that the draw determined that Benfica would have to travel to the north of the country to make their debut in this edition of the Portuguese Cup. The match between the Eagles and Chaves is scheduled for next Friday, October 17, four days before the clash against Newcastle.
