Benfica in despair over Dedic news, full-back in agony | OneFootball

Bosnia lost 2-1 to Austria in a qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup. Amar Dedic started, but had to leave at the 58' minute, dealing with an injury that worries Benfica's structure and that, according to the player, "could be something more serious".

"Dedic's injury disrupted our game. I expected a lot from him, but in the first half he hinted that he had a problem. We reacted with Gazibegovic," said the Bosnian coach, after the end of the match against Austria.

Serjej Barbarez also assured that Dedic's knee became "unstable" after a blow, revealing the worst scenario for Benfica and a somewhat long stop: "He believes it could be something more serious, but will wait until he returns to Lisbon".

Starting in all eight official games of Benfica this season, the defender had admitted to being quite worn out physically. Even so, Dedic was spared against San Marino, to be able to start against the Austrian team.
