The worst-case scenarios surrounding Georgiy Sudakov’s injury are just a mirage. All indications are that the Ukrainian player’s issue is not serious and Benfica can breathe a sigh of relief. After undergoing some tests, it became known that the number 10 will need a few days to recover.

Dealing with a trauma to his left shoulder, which also includes a sprain in the same area, the newspaper Record writes this Sunday, October 12, that the Ukrainian player will not be sidelined for long. The same source adds that Sudakov will only miss the trip to Chaves, which marks the opening round of the Portuguese Cup.

Thus, it ends up being good news for José Mourinho, who can rest the number 10 against the Flavienses, allowing him a better recovery in time for the match against Newcastle, which takes place four days later, when the sports daily claims the midfielder will already be fit.

It should be remembered that, when he was returning to Portugal, Georgiy Sudakov shared a photo on Instagram in which he appeared with his arm immobilized, an image that alarmed Benfica fans. In the caption, the player shared a wish and highlighted Ukraine’s game: “I hope for a quick recovery. Congratulations to the team and all the fans on the victory.”

Remember that, with the end of the second international break, which will happen on October 14, Benfica is entering another tough cycle of fixtures, with seven matches in just 23 days, which includes an away game in the Champions League, a Portuguese Cup tie, and some important clashes in Liga Portugal Betclic.
