Renato Veiga has suffered an injury to the tendon of the plantar gracilis, located near the hamstring of his right leg.
The severity of the injury and the subsequent recovery time are currently being evaluated.
Medical tests have confirmed the injury, and the player’s recovery will be closely monitored based on the development of his symptoms.
Adding to the unfortunate news, Veiga was substituted after just 12 minutes of the match against PSV Eindhoven.
PSV ultimately won the match 3-1, securing a 4-3 aggregate victory and eliminating Benfica from the Champions League. Veiga’s early departure compounded Benfica’s challenges in the crucial encounter.
