Sport Lisboa e BenficaSport Lisboa e Benfica receives a significant boost with the return of Alexander Bah. The Danish right-back gains strength and consistency after an injury that kept him off the pitch for over a year.
Who is Alexander Bah?
Alexander Bah is a Danish right-back who plays for Sport Lisboa e Benfica. He was coached by José Mourinho and seems finally ready to regain his prominence after the injury.
What happened?
Bah suffered a serious injury to his left knee on February 8, 2025, against Moreirense, and only returned to competition on February 21. He made an impressive return, starting and scoring a goal in the 3-0 win against Aves SAD.
Why is it important for Benfica?
Bah's good form comes at an important time, as regular starter Amar Dedic is going through a period of lesser physical form. The Bosnian right-back was also sent off against Arouca and serves a two-game suspension, which opened up space for Bah to regain his place.
| Date | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|
| February 21 | Aves SAD | 3-0 |
| Arouca | 2-1 | |
| Vitória de Guimarães | 3-0 |
What's next?
Mourinho is likely to keep the Danish player in the starting lineup against Casa Pia on March 6, in the 28th round of the League. Bah's consistency and physical availability make him the main candidate to occupy the position, at least until Dedic's return.
