Benfica debates lineup ahead of St. Gallen Europa League tie

Benfica's coach Marco Silva is evaluating his attacking options for the Europa League second‑leg match against Swiss side St. Gallen. The Portuguese side has a €17 million signing, Polish forward Kaminski, under fan scrutiny, and the Norwegian winger Andreas Schjelderup is being considered to start directly.

Silva said most players who missed earlier due to the 2026 World Cup are now available, including Colombian youngster Jhon Durán and returning Portuguese midfielder Leandro Barreiro. The squad’s fitness and tactical choices will be decided before the game.
