Jordan Holsgrove should be called up by Vasco Matos for the match against Benfica

SAPO Notícias30 August 2026 at 00:21

Jordan Holsgrove should be called up by coach Vasco Matos for the match against Benfica. The 26-year-old Scottish midfielder has been recovering from some physical problems that kept him off the pitch in recent weeks.

The possible call-up comes at an important time for the team, which is preparing to face Benfica, one of the main rivals in the Portuguese league.

Holsgrove, who has represented the club since last season, has been an important piece in the team's midfield, although injuries have limited his continuity this season.

The return of the Scottish player could represent a boost for Vasco Matos, who is looking for reinforcements for the midfield sector given the demanding schedule ahead.
