### João Mário Injury Update: Benfica
João Mário, the star striker for Portuguese club Benfica, has been ruled out of their upcoming matches due to a knee injury sustained in training on Tuesday. The Brazilian forward suffered a韧ous tear in his right knee during a practice session at the club's training center.
Benfica is currently playing in the Primeira Liga, Portugal's top football league, and have several games scheduled up ahead. This injury could potentially impact their chances of winning key matches in the competition. The team will need to make some adjustments to their lineup to compensate for Mário's absence.
Mário's departure comes as a major blow to Benfica's attacking force, which had already lost their captain and leading scorer,Primeira Liga Hotspots Cristiano Ronaldo, to a long-term injury. With Mário sidelined, the team must rely more heavily on their younger players and reserves to maintain their offensive capabilities.
The club has not yet released a statement regarding the exact timeline for Mário's recovery or any potential replacements for him. However, it is expected that he will be back in action soon after his rehabilitation process is complete.
In the meantime, Benfica will focus on preparing for their upcoming fixtures with renewed determination. The squad hopes to bounce back from this setback and continue their pursuit of glory in the league.
