Sport Lisboa e Benfica faces Gil Vicente on Saturday and Samuel Soares is set to retain his starting spot in goal. The 21-year-old goalkeeper was in the starting lineup in the last match against Estrela da Amadora and has an important opportunity to showcase his skills. However, it seems inevitable that Anatoliy Trubin, the Ukrainian goalkeeper signed by Benfica this month, will soon take over as starter. The near future of Odysseas Vlachodimos will also have a significant impact on Samuel's path. Depending on how the next games go, the young goalkeeper still has a strong possibility of being loaned out to gain competition minutes. André Gomes, another goalkeeper from the Benfica youth academy, just 18 years old, is also being considered, but is recovering from a complicated shoulder injury. The Benfica football structure believes a lot in André, who is already part of the main squad. Samuel Soares has an important opportunity in this phase to show his quality and convince the coaching staff to keep him as starter. Benfica paid €10 million, plus €1 million in bonuses, to sign Anatoliy Trubin, who is 22 years old. The Ukrainian goalkeeper has already demonstrated his quality in previous games and may be a good option for Benfica. However, Samuel Soares should not be underestimated, as he has a great opportunity to show his quality and establish himself as a starter. The Benfica coaching staff will have to make a decision soon, and it will be interesting to see who will be the starter in the next games.
