Benfica duo return to Seixal, but could miss training | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov and Anatoliy Trubin returned to Portugal after the 1-1 draw between Ukraine and Azerbaijan, even though they knew they would not arrive in time for training. The midfielder – who is going through a difficult time – scored the goal of the match.

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, both Sudakov and Trubin returned to Portugal at the end of the match. The midfielder returns in a somewhat fragile state, after seeing his house bombed by Russian missiles, at a time when his pregnant wife, daughter, and mother were living there.

The incident happened recently, but Sudakov did not want to leave the national team and traveled with Ukraine to Baku. The new Benfica signing ended up scoring, dedicating the goal to his father, who passed away last August, before his arrival at Luz.

It is worth mentioning that Anatoliy Trubin was also named man of the match, through a vote by Ukrainian fans. The Benfica goalkeeper was the Lion of the Match, with 35% of the votes, despite having made only one save during the entire match.

This season, Georgiy Sudakov – valued at 32 million euros – has played, so far, 10 matches: five in the Europa League qualifying phase, three in the National Championship, and two in the Conference League preliminary rounds. In the 763 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the midfielder has made two assists.
