Bruno Lage sends €20m Benfica asset to B team ahead of Fenerbahçe clash | OneFootball

After Monday's training session, Benfica's squad returned to work this Tuesday to prepare for the reception of Fenerbahçe, related to the second leg of the Champions League play-off. Florentino was placed to train with the B team, considering he will be unavailable for the match scheduled for next Wednesday, August 27, due to his expulsion in the first round of the tie.

João Rego and Joshua Wynder, two young talents of the team, were also present in the training of the secondary squad at Clube da Luz, so they are unlikely to be an option for Bruno Lage in the clash with José Mourinho's team, which is extremely important for Benfica.

"Benfica's professional football team is preparing this Tuesday, August 26, at Benfica Campus, for the game against Fenerbahçe, the second leg of the play-off to access the league phase of the Champions League, to be played at Estádio da Luz", revealed Benfica through the Club's communication channels.

Benfica's training on the eve of the match with Fenerbahçe was marked by the good mood felt at the Campus during the 15 minutes open to the media, where the usual warm-up exercises were observed.

Benfica plays the second leg of the play-off for the 2025/2026 edition of the Champions League at Estádio da Luz, at 8:00 PM. Bruno Lage's team could take advantage of the home advantage to secure passage to the league phase of the Champions League, after a goalless draw in Istanbul.
