It was with 19 players in the delegation that the Benfica team arrived this Friday at Lisbon airport to travel to the Azores, where they will face Lusitania on Friday (16:30). This lineup does not take into account the injured Di Maria, Bach and Cocciu, as well as Trubin, Neres and Otamendi, selected by their own choice due to travel to the games of the national team.
The red delegation, it is worth noting, was headed by Rui Costa, who refused to answer questions from journalists, namely about FC Porto’s comments regarding Benfica’s accounts or Rafa’s extension. The attacker himself was also interrogated on this topic, but he also remained silent.
