Benfica travels to Madeira to face Marítimo, in a match related to the fifth round of the championship. The departure took place on Thursday afternoon.
The signings El Karouani and Echeverri are not part of the squad that left for the island. Both had been presented by the club on Tuesday.
The game marks the continuation of the Portuguese championship for the red-and-white team, which thus cannot count on the two new players for this match.
