Benfica coach Marco Silva has announced that midfielder João Palhinha is included in the squad for their upcoming Primeira Liga match against Estoril Praia. However, Silva remained tight-lipped regarding whether the newly signed player will make his debut in the game. The coach confirmed Palhinha’s availability during a press conference today, generating anticipation amongst fans. Despite the inclusion, Silva did not offer any indication of his plans for Palhinha’s playing time. This has left speculation open about when Benfica supporters will first see their new signing in action. The club secured Palhinha’s transfer earlier this week, adding depth to their midfield options. The decision on his debut remains with the coach, who is evaluating the player’s integration into the team.
