Breaking: Mourinho reveals when Manu Silva will return for Benfica 🦅 | OneFootball

In a preview of Newcastle vs. Benfica, José Mourinho said that Manu Silva should return to the pitch at the end of November.

Manu Silva has already returned to Benfica training, although with restrictions. However, the midfielder has not yet been cleared to return to the pitch. In the preview of the match against Newcastle, José Mourinho revealed that the former Vitória de Guimarães player is expected to remain sidelined for another month.

"Manu? We think he will be training with us next week in a full capacity. He does a lot of things under supervision, but next week he should be able to join the team’s regular training. By the end of November, he’ll be ready to play," said the coach, before explaining what still needs to be "instilled" in the team.

"Nothing frustrates me, even though this is the third time in my career that I’ve taken over a team with the season already underway. Benfica, Tottenham, and now Benfica again. I can’t say I have a lot of experience in this, but I know it’s much harder, with no time to work, to discuss things internally," he said.

"Eddie has players with the profile he wants, according to how he wants to play. When you arrive mid-season, you can’t be frustrated. It is what it is. I didn’t arrive mid-season, but with the train already moving, and I have to adapt without frustration," Mourinho concluded.

Benfica will return to the pitch next Tuesday, October 21, at 8:00 p.m., at St. James’s Park, against Newcastle. This match is part of the third round of the Champions League group stage, against the team that plays in the Premier League.
