António Silva, Dodi Lukebakio, Rafael Obrador, Gonçalo Oliveira, and Leandro Barreiro returned from their respective national teams and were available for José Mourinho in Benfica's penultimate training session before the trip to Chaves for the Portuguese Cup.
Out of Benfica's coach considerations are still Andreas Schjelderup, Nicolás Otamendi, and Richard Ríos, along with the injured Bruma and Nuno Félix, who remained under the medical department's care. Alexander Bah, also with physical issues, was authorized to travel to Denmark.
Tuesday's session was marked by the return of Manu Silva. The midfielder already trained on the field, although he is not fully available to play. José Mourinho hopes to count on the former Vitória de Guimarães player in the near future.
On Thursday, October 16, Benfica will hold their last training session in Seixal, with José Mourinho previewing the match against Chaves at 1:00 PM. In the afternoon, the team will fly to Porto and travel to Trás-os-Montes by bus.
