Amar Dedic set for earlier than expected return to Benfica | OneFootball

The Bosnia National Team was left without Amar Dedic for the last qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup. The Benfica right-back was once again in the starting lineup in the last game against Romania, which ended in a 3-1 victory.

However, with Bosnia's victory came bad news: Amar Dedic received his second yellow card in this qualification, which means he is now suspended from participating in the next match for his National Team, which will also be the final group stage match of the World Cup qualifiers.

Dedic had already received a yellow card in June against San Marino and received another against Romania. In the qualification phase, two yellow cards are enough to suspend a player for one match, so the Bosnian will not be able to help his National Team in the match against Austria, crucial for Bosnia's aspirations, which, however, has already secured a spot in the playoffs.

While the news is bad for Dedic and the Bosnia National Team, it is good for José Mourinho and Benfica fans. Firstly, because the defender is returning from injury. Secondly, because the Eagles have already seen Pavlidis and Sudakov get injured during this FIFA international break.

to recover and start preparing for the upcoming matches under José Mourinho's guidance, or if, on the other hand, he will stay with the Bosnia National Team due to the crucial importance of the moment the team is experiencing, with the possibility of direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
