According to O Jogo he is not at the fitness level Rui Vitoria demands

He needs Douglas to improve so he can rotate at the back

Douglas Pereira, on loan at Benfica from Barcelona, has not entered the squads of Rui Vitoria because he is not fit enough for the coach's liking.

According to O Jogo, Douglas has not been picked in a squad since he arrived on the final day of the transfer window. Benfica want him to compete with Andre Almeida for the right-back spot, but he has not shown the level required. 

They say that he will also be excluded from the squad to face BRaga this week. His absence is even more annoying for the club because other players like Jardel and Fejsa are out.
