Dodi Lukebakio reassures Benfica fans with key promise (Video) | OneFootball

Recovering from surgery, Dodi Lukebakio turned to Benfica’s official platforms to send a hopeful message to the fans. In a short video shared by the Club, the Belgian winger appears in good spirits and gives a direct assurance for the future: “Benfiquistas, see you soon.”

This message comes at a sensitive time for the player and serves as a demonstration of resilience. It’s important to remember that Dodi Lukebakio was recently operated on and faces a long rehabilitation period. The Eagles’ medical department predicts his return to competition only at the beginning of March, which will keep the player off the pitch for the next few months.

Recall that Dodi Lukebakio was injured while playing for Belgium, in the friendly against Liechtenstein. The Benfica player had come on during the second half, but in a contested play ended up suffering a fracture to his left ankle, according to information released by the Clube da Luz.

Dodi Lukebakio’s absence is a major blow for José Mourinho. The winger had been one of the most dynamic elements in Benfica’s attack, and his prolonged unavailability forces the coaching staff to find alternative solutions to maintain offensive momentum down the flank during the winter.

This season, playing for Benfica, Dodi Lukebakio – valued at 20 million euros – has made 11 appearances: six in Liga Portugal Betclic, three in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the League Cup. In the 835 minutes he spent on the pitch, the winger scored one goal and provided three assists.
