Goncalo Guedes out of action with injury

Benfica have announced that forward Goncalo Guedes will undergo surgery in the next few days to an injury suffered to his left knee that is effecting meniscus which is a c-shaped piece of rubbery cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the shinbone and thighbone. Guedes has not appeared in the clubs past couple of games after suffering the injury in a league game against Vizela.

The 26 year old who is currently on loan at Benfica from Wolverhampton, joined the club during the winter transfer window and had appeared in eight games across all competitions, scoring twice while providing one assist.
