Benfica travels this afternoon to Madeira to face Marítimo, in a match related to the fifth round of the Portuguese league. The game is part of the league competition and represents another away trip for the red and white team this season.
The new signings El Karouani and Echeverri, who were officially presented to the club on Tuesday, are not part of the squad that traveled to the island of Madeira. These two players are new additions to the Benfica squad this season.
The absence of these two signings from the trip may be related to logistical issues or to the fact that they have not yet been fully integrated into the team's preparation process. Benfica thus seeks to add another victory in the league after the start of the season.
