The 23-year-old football player was in the location of the “blue-yellows”, but due to an injury, he was forced to return to Lisbon after the match against France (0:4), which the football player spent on the bench.
According to A Bola, Sudakov’s injury was not serious, so he can play in the round of 16 – Jose Mourinho’s men will meet Atletico in the Portuguese Cup.
However, the final decision will be made by the head coach of the Eagles. There is a possibility that Mourinho will field a reserve team in the Cup, and Sudakov and other players of the base will take the field in the Champions League against the Dutch “Ajax” (November 25).
In the current season, the Ukrainian midfielder played 14 matches for Benfica, in which he scored three goals and provided one assist.
