Marco Silva, Benfica's coach, analyzed the available options for the team's right-back position. The situation arose after Bah suffered an injury in the last match, leaving the club without a natural right-back available for the upcoming games.
The coach acknowledged that he may have to adapt players who are not natural to the right-back position to make up for Bah's absence. This solution would involve moving elements from other positions on the field to meet the defensive need on the right flank.
Should this adaptation be necessary, Marco Silva indicated that Banjaqui could have the opportunity to demonstrate his value. The coach stated that, if this possibility arises, it will be the right moment for the player to prove he deserves a place in the starting eleven.
Bah's injury thus puts Banjaqui in the spotlight as one of the alternatives Benfica can use to occupy the right flank of the defense during the titleholder's recovery period.
