Marco Silva, Benfica's coach, guaranteed that player Schjelderup is satisfied at the club and that he considers him a starter of the team. These statements come at a time when there has been speculation about the future of the Norwegian player.
According to the coach, Schjelderup has shown happiness and contentment with his current situation at Benfica, debunking rumors that he would be unhappy or dissatisfied with his position at the club.
However, the facts partially contradict this narrative, since Schjelderup has only started once since the World Cup 2026, which raises questions about the player's true weight in the team's starting eleven.
Marco Silva thus sought to reassure the fans and the player himself, affirming his confidence in Schjelderup's abilities, despite the apparent lack of regular opportunities as a starter since the world competition.
