Benfica lose Seferovic for at least a month

Benfica have lost Swiss striker Haris Seferovic again until at least after the next international break in October to a muscle injury, this is Seferovic's second injury since the start of the season in August. Seferovic has appeared in only two games for the club this campaign, totaling 52 minutes of action, the last being against Tondela in which he came on as a substitute for 15 minutes. 

Seferovic joined Benfica in the summer of 2017 on a free transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt and has appeared in 175 games for the club across all competitions, scoring 69 goals while setting up an additional 23 goals. The 29 year old was linked to a move away from Benfica this summer after a strong Euro 2020 campaign for Switzerland but his injury derailed any move that the Lisbon club was working on.
