Alexander Bah and Richard Ríos Join Benfica Training Session
In a recent training session at Benfica Campus in Seixal, two players made notable appearances: Danish right-back Alexander Bah and Colombian midfielder Richard Ríos. Their participation marks a significant step as both athletes return from lengthy absences. Bah has not played since February 8, 2025, while Ríos has been sidelined for a month.
Training Session Highlights
The session, led by coach José Mourinho, was crucial for the duo as they aim to regain match fitness. Despite returning to the field, it seems unlikely they will join the team for the upcoming match.
Upcoming Match Against Ponta Delgada
Benfica is set to face Ponta Delgada this Friday. A victory is essential for the team’s ambitions in the league. Currently, Benfica sits in third place, with 49 points. They trail behind Sporting, who has 52 points, and league leaders FC Porto, who lead with 56 points.
Importance of the Match
A win in this critical match could allow Benfica to temporarily close the gap on Sporting, as both teams would then share the same number of points. The stakes are high, as the team aims to pursue the elusive championship title, which they last claimed in the 2022/23 season.
