The Norwegian player Aursnes is getting closer to returning to Benfica's starting eleven, showing better physical indices that bring him closer to his best performance. The defensive midfielder has been recovering his ideal physical form after a period of adaptation to Portuguese football.
Marco Silva, the team coach, is expected to make few changes to the starting lineup for the sixth round league match scheduled for Friday. This stability in the eleven reflects the coach's confidence in the main block of players.
The possible inclusion of Aursnes in the starting lineup comes at a time when the Norwegian player shows he is reaching the desired physical levels, which could represent an added value for the Lisbon team's midfield in the upcoming clash.
