Bruno Lage left stunned as Benfica risk losing key player | OneFootball

Amar Dedic might be unavailable for Bruno Lage in Benfica's upcoming matches. The full-back was a starter in Bosnia's 2-1 defeat against Austria and left the field injured, appearing quite distressed. Serjej Barbarez revealed that the player feels it could be something prolonged.

"Dedic's injury disrupted our game. I expected a lot from him, but in the first half, he indicated that he had a problem. We responded with Gazibegovic," said the Bosnian coach, after the match against Austria.

Serjej Barbarez also assured that Dedic's knee became "unstable" after a blow, revealing the worst-case scenario for Benfica and a potentially lengthy absence: "He believes it might be something more serious, but he will wait until he returns to Lisbon."

A starter in all eight official matches for Benfica this season, the defender had admitted to being quite physically worn out. Even so, Dedic was rested against San Marino to be able to start against the Austrian team.
