Marco Silva, Benfica's coach, came forward to publicly guarantee that Andreas Schjelderup is "very happy" at the club. The coach assured that he continues to count on the Norwegian winger for the rest of the season.
However, the truth is that the Norwegian international has had very few opportunities to start since he returned from the 2026 World Cup. Schjelderup has only been named in the starting lineup once after the competition, which raises questions about his role in the team.
This statement comes at a time when the player's usage has been limited, despite Silva's public guarantee that he continues to be an asset to Benfica's squad.
