Mourinho boosted by injured quartet on Benfica pitch before Juventus trip | OneFootball

José Mourinho oversaw Benfica’s final session before the trip to Turin, with some encouragement as injured players appeared on the grass.

A Bola reports that Dodi Lukebakio, recovering from ankle surgery, was on the Seixal pitch via club images and greeted Mário Branco, the director-general for football.

Aleander Bah, Joshua Wynder and Samuel Soares also featured outside, though not with the main group, completing running and individual drills to aid their recoveries.

Mourinho continues to work with his core group but still lacks several options. Beyond those already named, Richard Ríos and Nuno Félix remain absent.

Juventus host Benfica on Wednesday, 21 January, at 20:00 in Turin. Mourinho will preview the match later today with a player at 19:00. On the Juventus side, Luciano Spalletti faces a headache.
