N Otamendi: Benfica latest injury updates
As the season progresses, injuries can take their toll on any team, and Benfica is no exception. Injuries have been a regular occurrence for the Portuguese giants this season, with several key players missing important games due to various ailments.
One player who has struggled with injuries is N Otamendi, who recently returned from a long-term illness that had him sidelined for a significant period. Despite his return, Otamendi has not yet fully recovered, which means he will be out for some time.
Another player who has suffered injuries this season is Bruno Fernandes, who has missed several crucial matches due to a knee problem. Fernandes' absence has been felt by the rest of the squad, as he provides much-needed creativity and goalscoring ability in midfield.
Other notable injuries include those sustained by defenders like Raphael Guerreiro and Ricardo Pereira, who have both undergone surgeries this season. These injuries have forced the club to make changes to their defense, with new signings like Rui Patricio and Renato Sanches stepping up to fill the void.
Despite these setbacks, Benfica remains one of the top teams in Europe and continues to compete at the highest level. With a strong squad and a talented coach like Jorge Jesus, they remain hopeful of achieving success in the coming seasons.
