O Benfica continues to prepare the reception to Vitória SC, in play of the 8th day of the I League scheduled for Sunday, and Marco Silva has three doubts, although he already has back the players who are absent due to the commitments of the respective selections.
Sudakov, Alexander Bah and Kaminski are the names that worry, at the moment, the technician of the eagles, being still uncertain their availability for the match that takes place in a few days, according to the newspaper A BOLA, in this Thursday's edition.
Sudakov
The case of Sudakov seems to be the most worrying, as he suffered a sprain on the right ankle in the Ukraine game in front of Northern Ireland last Friday at the League of Nations, but both Bah and Kaminski are more recoverable, even because they returned earlier to Benfica Campus in Seixal to speed up the recovery process.
The Ukrainian average was also re-evaluated by the Ukrainian medical team and only later this week did it return to Portugal.
Bah and Kaminski closer to recovery
In turn, the Danish side was the first Benfica player to be dismissed from the team, as early as 22 September, due to a relapse in the shoulder injury, less than 48 hours after having held the Classic against FC Porto, in the Dragon Stadium.
“Alexander Bah suffered a relapse in shoulder injury during the Benfica game this weekend. The player has now been submitted to a series of examinations by the medical team and will not be able to play the next games. For this reason, it no longer integrates the call ", could be read in the statement of the Nordic selection.
In this sense, Benfica's usual right side will have had more time to recover and be fit for the Sunday game.
Kaminski, in turn, injured himself in the service of Poland's selection, in the duel against Bosnia and Herzegovina, for the League of Nations, eventually receiving a dispensation order from the Polish internship on 26 September.
“Jakub stretched out the adductor a bit, but it probably won’t be a long-term injury. However, with the intensity of the games, this injury will take you away from the games that remain,” Jan Urban said.
Of this lot of three players, Bah is the player who will worry more Marco Silva, since it is an unquestionable holder at this time of the season. In the event of the Dane's unavailability, young Daniel Banjaqui should be given another opportunity in Benfica's eleven.
Enzo from the outside, Barreiro operational
From the outside will continue Enzo Barrenechea, player who has recently been subjected to arthroscopy to the left knee for treatment of rupture of the medial meniscus.
On the other hand, Leandro Barreiro, who had presented low back pain in the Luxembourg selection, should be able, according to the newspaper THE BALL.
Marco Silva should undo, as early as Saturday, all doubts about the players available for the game against Vitória SC, when attending a press conference to make the preview of the match.
Benfica, remember, totals 16 points in the championship and ranks second in the I Liga, being the five of the FC Porto leader, with whom he suffered the first defeat in the previous round, in the Dragon Stadium.
The team commanded by Francesco Farioli only adds victories in the first seven journeys.
