Zeki Amdouni hit with bombshell news, Benfica players go wild | OneFootball

Zeki Amdouni, the Swiss international forward who last season (2024/2025) played for Benfica on loan from Burnley, announced this Thursday, March 12, on social media, his return to the pitch after many days.

"231 days after surgery. A lot of work, patience, and belief. I'm back", wrote the former number 7 of the Club on his Instagram account, receiving support from former teammates at the Luz emblem.

Among the players who did not overlook the return of the 25-year-old attacker were Manu Silva, Schjelderup - who recently received individual recognition - , Leandro Barreiro and Kokçu (currently at Besiktas).

It should be noted that the forward left the Club shortly before the Club World Cup, having suffered a cruciate ligament rupture days later. Since then, there has been a long recovery period for the winger, whom the Eagles, at the time, considered keeping at Luz (they ended up not exercising the 18 million euro purchase option).

In the 2024/25 season, wearing Benfica's jersey, Zeki Amdouni was Bruno Lage's choice in 43 matches: 11 in the Champions League, 24 in the National Championship, six in the Portuguese Cup, and two in the League Cup.
