David Neres has a meniscus injury in his left knee. The Brazilian international was injured in the last match against Casa Pia at the Estádio da Luz, where Benfica drew 1-1.
David Neres joins Orkun Kökçü and Alexander Bah on the injured list, who are unlikely to recover in time for the championship game against Sporting. The Lisbon derby is scheduled for November 12.
The list of unavailable players at Benfica hinders Roger Schmidt’s work.
The Benfica coach is preparing a cycle with important matches, including the trip to Chaves to play against Desportivo next weekend. He then continues the trip to Spain, to the city of San Sebastian for the Champions League match against Real Sociedad.
