Benfica's medical report brought good news for Marco Silva's coaching staff. Enzo Barrenechea, the Argentine midfielder considered very important for the Eagles' midfield, may recover in time to join the trip to Madeira for the match against Marítimo, in the national championship.
The player left the game injured during the first half of the clash against Estoril, in a challenge with Fernando Medrano. The medical exams performed ruled out the existence of any muscle injury, confirming that the problem was only trauma to his left leg.
Marco Silva had already downplayed the situation at the end of the last match, in a press conference, confirming the less serious scenario that was initially expected. The Eagles' coach closely followed the South American midfielder's recovery.
The player will continue to be re-evaluated daily by Benfica's medical department before the final decision is made on his availability for the match against Marítimo.
