Grimaldo came out on a stretcher in the match with Belenenses SAD. Jorge Jesús still does not know the severity of the injury to the Spanish left back, but he does know who is on the front line to replace him, if necessary.
Asked if Franco Cervi could be an alternative to the position, he replied: «If necessary. I don’t know the severity of the injury, I know it was to the ankle. I hope it’s nothing serious. The place will be Nuno [Tavares]. Except in an emergency situation. If the injury is prolonged we will have to make adjustments. Cervi? If it has to be, it will be. In the preseason he played games in that position.
Given the serious injury of André Almeida, to which the doubt about Grimaldo is now added, does Jorge Jesús face a challenge to form the defensive line of Benfica?
«With the departure of Rúben Dias, André and now Grimaldo, only Vertonghen remained, who also joined the team. We have been working on the team from a defensive point of view, and today [frente ao Belenenses SAD] it was better than in poland [com o Lech Poznan]. The Poles asked questions that Belenenses did not ask, today was easier, “he said.
