Spaniard Álex Grimaldo ended yesterday’s game, Saturday, with Santa Clara exhausted and, in the end, did not hide the physical difficulties, clinging to his right leg. Situation to be assessed with the utmost care, on returning to work in Seixal.
The left-back, remember, had suffered a sprain in his left ankle in the game with Varzim and then played 90 minutes with Sporting. With the Azoreans, he was also on the pitch from start to finish.
Benfica will now play away to Paços de Ferreira on Thursday, in an early match for the 20th round, and will travel to Arouca on February 1st, again for the championship.
