Coach José Mourinho of Benfica provided an update on player injuries ahead of the match against Gil Vicente. He confirmed that the team faces two significant absences but did not elaborate on the specific injuries.
Injury Updates on Key Players Bruma and Sudakov
According to reliable sources, midfielder Bruma suffered a muscle injury during Saturday’s training session. This injury is expected to sideline him for at least six weeks.
Bruma recently returned to play after an extended recovery from an Achilles tendon rupture. The timing of this new setback raises concerns for both the player and the team.
Current Condition of Sudakov
Additionally, player Sudakov is still recovering from lower back pain, specifically lombalgia. This condition prevented him from participating in the recent match against Aves SAD.
- Bruma: Muscle injury, 6-week recovery time.
- Sudakov: Complications from lower back pain; did not play against Aves SAD.
Despite his discomfort, Sudakov traveled to Madrid but remained on the bench during the game. The team will need to navigate these injuries carefully as they prepare for upcoming matches.
