Celtic handed potential Europa League boost as Benfica suffer £40m double injury blow

Celtic may gain an advantage ahead of their Europa League match against Benfica after the Portuguese team suffered a £40 million double injury setback during the international break. The two key players, Jakub Kaminski and Heorhiy Sudakov, are both expected to miss the crucial encounter at Estadio da Luz. Polish playmaker Kaminski suffered a thigh injury during Poland's game against Bosnia, while Ukrainian midfielder Sudakov sustained an ankle injury while playing for Ukraine against Northern Ireland.

Both players have significant value to their new club, with Sudakov joining Benfica from Shakhtar Donetsk for £20 million and Kaminski moving from Cologne for the same fee.
