Ivan Lima misses Benfica training ahead of Tondela clash | OneFootball

In this morning's training session, October 28, in Seixal, the absence of Ivan Lima, a young player who has been making a name for himself, was noted. The fact that the Benfica athlete did not attend the training session did not go unnoticed by the media. However, the situation of the footballer was clarified by José Mourinho, moments before the press conference preview.

Just as before the match with Arouca, José Mourinho once again opened the Clube da Luz training to the media for 15 minutes. According to what was reported by the newspaper Record, the Special One had some absences that were quickly clarified.

The sports daily revealed that Ivan Lima, a promising player who has been in the spotlight in recent weeks, Gonçalo Oliveira, Diogo Prioste, and Leandro Santos will be 'loaned' to Nélson Veríssimo, coach of Benfica B. The quartet will thus be part of the options for the clash against Paços de Ferreira, Thursday, October 30, at 18:00, for the 9th round of the Liga Portugal Meu Super.

Bruma, who, like Nuno Félix, continues to recover from their respective injuries, is also still absent. The medical report also includes the name of Amar Dedic, who did gym work during this morning's session. Alexander Bah is still doing individual work, and Manu Silva continues his reintegration into the squad.

It should be noted that, despite being a competition of lesser importance, José Mourinho emphasizes that the team will not take it easy against the Beirões. The match between Benfica and Tondela is scheduled for tomorrow, October 29, at 20:45, at Estádio da Luz. The Eagles will try to reclaim the title they won in 2024/25.
