Benfica travels to Milan where on Wednesday they face AC Milan in a Europa League match. This trip comes just days before the Eagles visit FC Porto in the Portuguese League.
Coach Marco Silva called up 24 players for this trip, leaving out Alexander Bah. Also left out were Gabriel Índio and Umeh, the latter due to physical issues.
In addition to the injured players, the young players José Neto and Gonçalo Moreira were not included in the squad for this Europa League match.
Benfica fans are closely following the team's participation in the Europa League and Marco Silva's management, leaving Bah out of an important European match. The proximity to the classic against FC Porto raises questions about the rotation strategy and the team's physical preparation.
