Benfica footballers Fredrik Aursnes and Tiago Gouveia suffered respectively from a “muscle injury in the right thigh” and an “anterior shoulder dislocation.” This information was confirmed by the club on the afternoon of this Sunday.

Aursnes and Tiago Gouveia were injured in the match against Estrela da Amadora on Saturday night, in the duel of the 3rd round of the League, which the Eagles won 1-0.

At this time, Benfica does not specify the recovery time for the two athletes.

The Norwegian and the Portuguese will miss Roger Schmidt’s options for the beginning of preparation for the visit to Moreirense, scheduled for Friday, in the opening of the 4th round of the League.

The two athletes join André Gomes, who is dealing with a lateral ankle sprain, Jan-Niklas Beste (muscle injury in the left thigh), and Andreas Schjelderup, who “is following a treatment plan and gradual reintegration into training,” detailed Benfica.
