Portugal Diary: Day Nine

Stu Vose blogs exclusively from the Sunderland camp.

Everyone in the camp is looking forward to tonight's game with Benfica.

The Liga Sagres champions and cup winners bring with them a huge level of interest and prestige in Portugal, and that was shown when I went down to the ground mid-afternoon today and saw Benfica fans everywhere!

The capacity of the Stadio Municipal de Albufeira has been upgraded to around 7,000 specially for the game, which is also being screened live on TV in Portugal.

The lads had a light training session in the heat this morning and it was great to see so many players back.

Titus Bramble trained fully for the first time late yesterday and Lee Cattermole, Jack Colback, Michael Liddle and Michael Turner all made comebacks.

Everything's set up for a great game. Don't forget you can get live text updates and audio commentary on safc.com.
