Breaking news: More setbacks for Benfica, Mourinho can't believe it | OneFootball

José Mourinho puts his hands on his head after learning about the number of players he will lose. According to acquired information, the Benfica squad will face a new constraint during this international break, which will significantly affect the Special One's training sessions in the coming days.

As reported by the newspaper A Bola, yesterday, November 7, revealed the last six names that will weaken José Mourinho's options in the coming days. Among the notable absences are Dodi Lukebakio, Ricjard Rios, and António Silva - who will join Roberto Martínez's squad.

In total, José Mourinho will be deprived of about 17 players from the main squad of the Reds and a few more names who are regulars in training. Besides the three footballers mentioned above, the Special One will also be without Franjo Ivanovic, Amar Dedic, Anatoliy Trubin, Georgiy Sudakov, Vangelis Pavlidis, Andreas Schjelderup, Leandro Barreiro, Nicolás Otamendi, Gianluca Prestianni, Rafael Obrador, João Rego, Gonçalo Oliveira, João Veloso, and Diogo Ferreira.

Given this situation, José Mourinho will be forced to alter the training models following the match against Casa Pia, to make them suitable for the number of available players. After this setback, it's safe to say that the 62-year-old coach will have to call up several youth players to join the training sessions, alongside Fredrik Aursnes, Tomás Araújo, and Enzo Barrenechea.

It should be noted that before the third international break, Benfica will take the field this Sunday, November 9, for another round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, hosting Casa Pia. The match is scheduled for 8:30 PM at Estádio da Luz and will be exclusively broadcast on BTV.
