Manu

Manu (knee) has been called up for Tuesday's match against Ajax, according to manager Jose Mourinho in the press conference. "Manu doesn't have 90 minutes available. Obviously, he won't be a starter. And even the minutes he might get, which could be useful to us... there are limits. If he's called up, it's not to go sightseeing, or to warm the bench and applaud. He's here because he can play. So, if we need Manu, he'll play. For now, he still has some limitations. Not only in terms of playing time, but also in terms of intensity, changes of pace, and accumulating intense phases of play. He still has some issues in that area, but he can play. His recovery is over, he's working well. He's a player we need to have better balance in the squad. And, well, he's welcome, and, as I said, if he's here, it's because he can help us."

Silva (knee) was training with the team Monday, ahead of Tuesday's trip to Newcastle, O Jogo reports.

Silva (knee) was named to the club's UCL squad, according to UEFA.

Manu suffered a torn ACL in Saturday's 3-2 domestic league win over Moreirense and will miss the rest of the 2024/25 season.
