Sport Lisboa e Benfica faces a challenge with key player injuries. Manager José Mourinho commented on Richard Ríos and Tomás Araújo's injuries.
What happened?
Benfica manager José Mourinho spoke about the players' injuries after the 2-0 win over Nacional.
Richard Ríos' injury
«The muscle, even if minor, always scares me, as do knees and ankles. It seems to be a sprain with no major severity. I would be surprised, given the player's personality, if he wasn't back next week.»
Tomás Araújo's injury
«I'd say Tomás is hardly recoverable, but I'm not saying it's impossible. But I see it as difficult for him to recover.»
Benfica needs to deal with these injuries to maintain competitiveness in the Primeira Liga.
