Dante Injury: Suffers injury against Benfica

Dante suffered a knee injury in Wednesday's Champions League clash with Benfica, coach Franck Haise said in a press conference. "For Dante, he suffered an impact on his left knee. He was feeling pain, it was difficult to restart, knowing that if he came on for three minutes, it would have meant a second substitution. It also made sense to preserve his health. He injured himself on a basic support."

Dante suffered a knock to his knee in the first half of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Benfica and was forced off at the break after dealing with pain. That said, with the nature of the game, this substitution was most likely a precaution, and reports say that the veteran defender and captain of the Aiglons will be back for the second leg in the Estadio da Luz next Tuesday. If he has to miss the game, Kojo Peprah Oppong is expected to replace him in the back three, or Melvin Bard could drop into the back three with Ali El Abdi coming in on the left flank in his place.
