Benfica head coach Jose Mourinho decided not to hold an open training session ahead of the match with Newcastle.

It is noted that the reason for this decision has not yet been disclosed. However, in the Portuguese club's previous match against Chelsea, Benfica held an open training session at Stamford Bridge, after which they suffered a 1-0 defeat.

Benfica will reportedly train in Lisbon before their flight and the session will be open to the media.

As you know, the match against Newcastle in the Champions League is scheduled for October 21 and will begin at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Let us remember that earlier Mourinho assessed Benfica’s preparation for the match with Porto against the backdrop of the players’ illness.
