Bruno Lage set for big-money Benfica boost... in October | OneFootball

Manu Silva's recovery is progressing at a very pleasing pace for Benfica's management. According to recent reports, it is possible that the former Vitória de Guimarães midfielder could be available for Bruno Lage by the end of October.

According to information published by the newspaper Record, it is possible that the 'number 16' for the Eagles could be called up for the last matches of October or, in a less favorable scenario, return to the squad list at the beginning of November.

Manu Silva suffered a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in February, and the sports daily assures that the player "is already running on the pitch and even performing change-of-direction exercises" at this stage of his complex recovery.

In 2024/2025, playing for Benfica, Manu Silva – valued at 10 million euros – was an option in three matches (Casa Pia, Estrela da Amadora, and Moreirense). The 24-year-old player played 136 minutes for the Eagles and provided one assist.
