Benfica loss to Anderlecht results in two injuries

Benfica's opening preseason game to Anderlecht resulted in a 2-1 loss with Chiquinho scoring the loan Benfica goal. The night was all about retiring striker Jonas and the result of the game was of little importance to many of the clubs fans that turned up at the stadium. The concern that has come into play is that Benfica lost two players to injury in their first tune up as Jhonder Cadiz went down with a right thigh injury and youngster David Tavares left the game having suffered a twisted left knee. The two players were not expected to be part of the teams plans this season but with four preseason games remaining we hope that the injury trend does not continue in the games that lie ahead.
