Breaking news! Update on Amar Dedic’s injury ahead of Benfica v Qarabag | OneFootball

Despite the injury, Amar Dedic could still be an option for Bruno Lage’s right-back position in this Tuesday’s match, September 16, with Benfica hosting Qarabag in the first round of the Champions League regular phase.

The information comes from the newspaper Record, which reports that Amar Dedic took to the pitch after the 15 minutes open to the media, having completed an individual training session. Although there are no certainties, there are strong indications that the 23-year-old full-back may return to the Eagles’ manager’s options.

Amar Dedic will undergo a new medical exam that will determine his availability for today’s match, and Bruno Lage will only consider him if he receives the green light from the medical department. Still, even if the player is declared fit to play, the coaching staff may choose to protect him by keeping him on the bench.

It should be recalled that Amar Dedic suffered a traumatic sprain in his right knee while on duty with the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team. In addition to the injury, the player was unavailable for Benfica’s last match against Santa Clara due to a suspension from the previous round, which led Bruno Lage to choose Tomás Araújo for the right side of the defense.

For Bruno Lage, Amar Dedic would be an important ‘reinforcement’; otherwise, the Benfica coach will have to resort again to an adaptation, or field Leandro Santos, the only natural right-back available in the squad.
