Ana Borges went through a tough spell at Benfica and says: All fine... | OneFootball

The surgery on Ana Borges' left knee is done! The Portuguese footballer, one of the biggest names in Portuguese women's sports, switched from Sporting to Benfica during the summer transfer window, but her adventure on the other side of the second circular didn't start off well due to a serious injury.

After the move from Sporting to Benfica, Ana Borges began the season with the red team. However, in early August, shortly into the preparation for the 2025/26 season, the full-back suffered a very serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in her knee.

The player, an international for the national team, has now shared a message on social media, revealing that she has already undergone surgery for the injured knee. Along with a photo of herself after the operation, Ana Borges also included a caption updating her physical and mental state.

"First phase completed. Everything went well. Now it's time to focus on recovery and come back even stronger. Thank you all for the support," said the player who made one of the most shocking transfers in the summer market by switching sides of the second circular.

Ana Borges did not give any indication regarding the time it will take to recover. However, despite everything going well with the operation, considering the severity of the injury, it is expected that the full-back will be away from the fields for several months.
