    Back from injury are:
    Petit (defensive midfielder) He'll probably play some minutes in this game.
    David Luiz (centre back) is likely start.
    Nelson (right defender) is back to be an option.

    Rodriguez (left winger) and Maxi (right winger) came late from the international game against Brazil and didn't make the list.

    So we could see Adu on the wings.

    Goalkeepers: Quim e Butt.

    Defenders: Luisão, David Luiz, Léo, Luís Filipe, Edcarlos, Nélson

    Midfielders: Petit, Binya, Katsouranis, Rui Costa, Adu, Di Maria, Nuno Assis,

    Forwards: Mantorras, Cardozo e Nuno Gomes.


    Ps: Following this match are the home games with AC Milan for the Champions League, and a Classic with FC Porto.

    Bump.

    I anticipate Freddy will get some minutes in this one.

    Benfica are currently in 2nd place, 4 points behind the leaders Porto. Academica is in 13th place with only 8 points from 10 matches. In other words, Benfica need to get points from this one.

    The benfica bus just passed me a little while ago when i was taking the bus home and i think i saw adu but it was hard to tell cause they passed fast with the police escort and all. it's to bad i won't be able to be at the game cause i'm a dirt poor student who thinks watching games at the stadium is a waste of money... i'd rather spend the money on booze celebrating later even though i'm a hardcore benfica fanatic.

    Anyways, it should be a good game between my two favorite teams with slb having to win. not having rodriguez is a blow but should give adu more chance to get minutes. and it'll be great to finally see luisão and david luiz playing together... 1 of the best pair of center-backs in the world (luisão is worldclass and luiz is gonna be better imo) and the pitbull, petit getting some minutes... cardozo not so much as somebody said because he is still semi-injuried. hopefully adu scores at least a hat trick in the 7 minutes he'll play!

    Well anything less and people will start talking about how overrated and overhyped he is. I'm looking for him to pull an Alves and put 7 in the net!

    Cardozo comes in for Nuno Assis. Not sure if he got injured because I walked away from my PC when I saw Freddy wasn't starting. :D

    Cardozo in for the injured Assis.

    Rui Costa plays on the right from now on.
