Mourinho encountered the FIFA virus, Di Maria s substitute suffered from muscle discomfort, and three main players have been injured

Mourinho encountered the FIFA virus, and Benfica's third main player was injured. Following the Greek Kane and Soda, No. 11 player Dodi Lukebakio left the game early due to physical discomfort during the match in Belgium.

Benfica's main right winger came on as a substitute in the 71st minute. Coach Rudy Garcia wanted to use his speed and dribbling to wear down his opponents and kill everyone. However, after only 15 minutes, this guy was forced to leave the field.

After competing for the ball with a Liechtenstein player, the Benfica player felt muscle discomfort and immediately slowed down significantly. As soon as the ball went out of bounds, Luke Baggio fell to the ground and waited for the team doctor to come in. In the end, the Belgian team, which had used up three substitutions, could only fight 10 against 11 at the last moment of the game. Fortunately, the opponent was Yuba, and the game ended with Belgium winning 7-0.

The Benfica club website is very funny, and then announced that Lucbaggio will miss the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup against Atlético. The reason is not that the player suffered a muscle injury, but that he needs to serve a suspension. It is really a joy in the bitter experience.

The thing is like this. The Belgian winger was sent off with a red card while playing in La Liga last season, that is, when he was still playing for Sevilla. The time was on April 24, 2025. Then Sevilla appealed the penalty. Then, seven months later, La Liga informed Benfica that Comrade Luke Baggio must fulfill this penalty in the "next official game that is eligible for participation."

It is a bit embarrassing, but it must be implemented. The punishment is global. In fact, this is not to blame Sevilla. In recent years, they have faced continued financial difficulties. Although the 28-year-old Lukbakio is crucial to the team, in order to alleviate the economic pressure, he was still sold in the summer transfer window.

The transfer fee is 20 million euros + 4 million euros floating, and 15% of Benfica's net income during the second transfer. However, given this guy's age, he should end his life at the Stadium of Light. The Belgium international signed a contract with Benfica that expires in 2030, and the contract contains a release clause of 50 million euros.

Lucbaggio's father is French Congolese and his mother is Belgian. In October 2016, he played for Congo in a friendly match against Kenya, but later he wisely chose to play for the Belgian team.

Lukebaggio has outstanding speed, is good at dribbling, and has good scoring ability. He is in line with Mourinho's 4231 tactical concept, but he still needs time to adapt to the Portuguese Super League.

More importantly, in his position, he has to replace the 37-year-old Angel Di Maria. Although the Argentine winger, who was hand-picked by Mourinho to move to Real Madrid and was nicknamed "Noodles" at the time, was still the core of Benfica's offense when he was able to fight, but when he returned to his roots, the call from Central Rosario made him unable to help himself.

Returned to the Argentine League this season. Although he was shoveled on a stretcher in his debut, he has already scored 7 goals. His condition is so good that people doubt his age, so that fans are asking him, how can he have the nerve to quit the Argentina team in adolescence?

However, it is better to miss each other than to meet again. Luke Baggio also has his own advantages, especially in the game of abuse, his ability to escape from the spot is indeed unique. The follow-up depends on Mourinho's coaching ability.

Follow me, this international match day is finally over. The injuries to three main players have made Mourinho's life even worse. He can only pray for the players to recover as soon as possible.
