If any of our Portuguese reading friends find anything in the press about Zach, please pass it along. Last I saw he was allowed to be listed conditionally on Benfica's UEFA Cup roster - until one of their two injured keepers was deemed fit. Which is odd because the last Benfica match report I saw showed one of the two "injured" keepers on the bench instead of Thornton. Is there any chance he'll actually get to see a game in the league or a cup competition. Has he even dressed for a match?
He is a back up and gives goalkeeping tips to Moreira...a young and talented player. Will he see some playing time..I don't know? Bossio{he has an injury} was the back up and Zack was his replacement.
I have not seen anything on Zach in about a week. I know that he has not yet dressed for a match. According to Benfica's website, he was issued the #12 jersey. Benfica travels to Madeira Island Sunday to play Nacional. No word yet on whether Zach will be called up for the match.
