Ángel Di María has been ruled out of Benfica’s Champions League game against Barcelona due to a muscle injury in his left thigh, which he suffered during Benfica’s Champions League play-off tie against Monaco. Despite resuming training with his teammates, Di María’s recovery hasn’t progressed quickly enough for him to be fit in time for the match
This is a significant blow to Benfica, as Di María is a key player and leader on the team. His absence will likely impact Benfica’s attacking options and create an advantage for Barcelona.
Additionally, Benfica will also be without other key players, including Florentino Luis, Alexander Bah, Renato Sanches, Manu Silva, and Tiago Gouveia, due to injuries.
