Andreas Samaris, a 31-year-old Greek midfielder at Benfica since the 2014/2015 season, was the foreign player relegated by Jorge Jesús, coach of the Reds, when choosing those who will participate in the group stage of the Europa League .
The Benfica squad has a foreign majority and if that does not cause major problems regarding the Portuguese League, the same cannot be said when it comes to accounting for the European elections, be it the Champions League, as in past seasons, or the Europa League. as is now the case.
Therefore, there are 19 foreign players, so it was necessary to leave someone out. Belgian goalkeeper Mile Svilar was registered as a locally trained player. And then, of the 17 foreigners registered, there was the Greek international who, with no space in Luz and just recovered from an injury, was also not entitled to a call-up for his selection, unlike, for example, goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.
