Benfica regular raises alarm bells, Mourinho counts cost | OneFootball

Amar Dedic came off with physical complaints in the match between Bosnia and Wales, in the clash that secured a place in the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup playoff. During the game, the right-back left the pitch, a situation that is setting off alarm bells at Benfica.

According to Record, Dedic was pushed to the limit in the match against Wales. The same source reveals that the Bosnia international first felt discomfort in an earlier incident, but ended up staying on the pitch for a few more minutes, where he reached the limit of his abilities, forcing the coach to make a substitution.

In a match in which Bosnia beat Wales only on penalties, in the 106th minute, Dedic grabbed his knee, which forced the referee to call for a stretcher, but the Benfica player managed to walk off under his own power, returning to the game before going off again minutes later.

It should be recalled that, before the clash against Wales, Benfica’s number 17 had also missed one of the national team’s training sessions due to physical complaints. The truth is that Dedic had not fully recovered and felt the effects again of the problems he had shown last Tuesday, 24 March.

This season, for Benfica, Amar Dedic - valued at €15 million - has already made a total of 37 official appearances: 18 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 14 in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup. In the 3,097 minutes he has been on the pitch, the number 17 has recorded one goal and three assists.
