Benfica player handed multi-match ban | OneFootball

Benfica has decided to file an appeal after the punishment handed to Amar Dedic, who was suspended for two matches. The decision came following the full-back’s sending off – who is being targeted by several European clubs – in the match against Arouca, a situation that led the Disciplinary Council to impose the sanction.

The club is appealing hierarchically in an attempt to overturn or reduce the punishment. Benfica’s management considers the decision excessive, especially given the context of the incident that led to the sending off.

If the suspension stands, the full-back will be unable to contribute in two important league matches, against Vitória de Guimarães and Casa Pia. The absence represents a setback for the team, which loses an option on the right side of the defense.

The punishment stemmed from a disagreement with Alfonso Trezza at the end of the match against Arouca, with both players being sanctioned. Even so, Benfica believes there are grounds to contest the decision and is now trying to change the outcome of the disciplinary process.

This season, playing for Benfica, Amar Dedic – valued at 15 million euros – has already played a total of 37 official matches: 18 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 14 in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 3,097 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the Bosnian has recorded one goal and three assists.
