Strong Comeback for Bah with Benfica After a Year of Injury

Danish right-back Alexander Bah opened the scoring for Benfica in the match against Aves, in his first appearance since returning from a long injury that lasted nearly a year, confirming his immediate impact with the team after a long absence from the field.

Bah, who had been absent since February 2025 due to a serious injury to the cruciate ligament of the left knee, succeeded in making his mark directly with the ‘Eagles’, giving his team an early advantage and restoring confidence in his ability to return to his previous level.

The return of the Danish international represents positive news for the coach and Benfica fans, especially after the complex recovery journey that included surgery and a long rehabilitation period, as his absence was impactful in the right-back position throughout last season.

Benfica hopes that Bah will regain his full physical and technical readiness in the coming weeks, to become a key element in the team’s lineup, especially with the approach of the decisive stages in local and European competitions.
