Dedic a headache for Benfica before Chelsea Champions League tie | OneFootball

Amar Dedic may be a last-minute drop for Chelsea – Benfica. According to the latest information, the right-back continues to have some complaints about his right knee, which greatly worries the eagles' officials, with José Mourinho considering giving the 23-year-old athlete some rest.

"Amar Dedic, the Bosnian right-back for Benfica, continues with his right knee bandaged. The defender returned from the national team with a sprain and still justifies caution. Tomás Araújo may step forward if Mourinho sees reason for change," reports the newspaper A Bola, in its Tuesday, September 30 edition.

It is important to remember that, after the Champions League clash against Chelsea, Benfica will travel to the Estádio do Dragão, to face Porto – which will have an important drop –, in a game of extreme importance for José Mourinho's team, given the point delay in the Liga Portugal Betclic.

In the current season, with the Benfica jersey, Amar Dedic – valued at 12 million euros – played 12 matches: six in the Liga Portugal Betclic, five in the Champions League and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 1,024 minutes he was used, the full-back scored one goal (Alverca) and made one assist (Tondela).

The Chelsea – Benfica is scheduled for this Tuesday, September 30, at 8:00 pm, at Stamford Bridge, and pertains to the second round of the league phase of the Champions League. After the surprising home defeat against Qarabag, the reds want to achieve their first victory in the current edition of the millionaire competition.
