Jan Bednarek still hopeful of featuring in Benfica v FC Porto

Jan Bednarek did not suffer a rib fracture and may be an option for Francesco Farioli for the Benfica vs FC Porto match this Sunday. According to the newspaper O Jogo, additional tests on the experienced Polish central defender confirmed the absence of a fracture, raising hopes for his participation in the Classic.

After being substituted due to injury in Tuesday's match against Sporting, Bednarek underwent several tests to assess the severity of the rib injury, and the most favorable scenario was confirmed for the 29-year-old Polish international.
