Benfica defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 on the 22nd of January.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 International has been an instrumental figure in the Benfica backline ever since his summer move from Real Madrid. Los Blancos coach Jose Mourinho decided that he did not require Garay’s services and eventually shipped him out to Estadio da
Luz.
While the deal was worth €5.5 million, the Reds were the ones who profited from it as the player became an integral part of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Jesus’ plans for the season. Featuring primarily as a centre-back, Garay has been a solid partner for Luisao and has shown that
he can play at the highest level.
However the 25-year-old has been injured in recent weeks and was forced to see his team maul Vitoria Setubal from the sidelines. Although his absence wasn’t felt much against the Sadinos, Gil Vicente are a better side and should test the Benfica backline
more fervently.  
According to reports, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Santander man has a nail problem in his right foot and it is keeping him out of action at the moment. The Eagles’ medical team have been trying to get the issue resolved quickly but it has taken more time than initially
expected.
Jorge Jesus realizes the implications of playing an unfit centre-back and is keen to give him sufficient time for recuperation. Garay has been providing continuous updates to fans from his twitter account and said that while he still felt some pain in the
affected area, he had noticed some considerable improvements.
However he is certainly ruled out of the League Cup tie against Santa Clara and Gil Vicente’s visit to Lisbon is also likely to be a bit early for him.
Jorge Jesus has a plenty of options to choose from and most likely will pick Miguel http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281 to partner skipper Luisao at the Stadium of Light. But it remains to be seen whether the former Leicester City man will have the same presence and composure like the
Sky Blue International does.
