Heads up, Mourinho! Update on Benfica star’s injury | OneFootball

Benfica experienced a rather anxious day last Saturday, October 11, after reports revealed that Georgiy Sudakov was injured. Upon returning to Portugal, the Ukrainian underwent medical examinations to understand the nature of the problem and the Eagles can breathe a sigh of relief, as it is not serious.

Dealing with a left shoulder contusion, which also includes a sprain in the same area, the newspaper Record writes this Sunday, October 12, that the Ukrainian athlete will not be sidelined for long. The same source reports that Sudakov will only miss the trip to Chaves, which marks the kickoff of the Portuguese Cup.

Thus, it turns out to be good news for José Mourinho, who can then rest the number 10 against the Flavienses, allowing him a better recovery in time for the match against Newcastle, which takes place four days later, at which time the sports daily claims the midfielder will be fit.

It should be noted that, when returning to Portugal, Georgiy Sudakov shared a photo of himself on Instagram, where he appeared with his arm immobilized, an image that alarmed the Benfica fans. In the caption, the athlete shared a wish and highlighted Ukraine's game: "I hope for a quick recovery. Congratulations to the team and all the fans for the victory".

It should be remembered that, with the end of the second international break, which will happen on October 14, Benfica enters another challenging cycle of games, with seven matches in just 23 days, including a Champions League away game, a Portuguese Cup match, and some important duels in the Liga Portugal Betclic.
