Benfica's latest injury update on Nicolás Otamendi is that he has sustained an injury to his right knee during training. The Brazilian defender, who signed for the club in January this year, is currently undergoing treatment and is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks.

Otamendi's injury comes as a setback for Benfica, which already lost key players like Joao Mario and Bruno Fernandes through injuries earlier this season. However, the team remains hopeful that Otamendi will make a full recovery and return to action soon.

The potential recovery timeline for Otamendi is not yet known, but it is likely to take several weeks before he can resume playing matches. The player's condition is being closely monitored by medical staff,Football Base Camp and any updates on his progress will be released as soon as they become available.

In the meantime, Benfica's defense will be relying on their other defenders, such as Miguel Calado and Renato Sanches, to step up and fill the void left by Otamendi's absence. The team will also be hoping that they can secure another signing to reinforce their defense before the transfer window closes later this month.

Overall, the injury to Nicolás Otamendi is a significant blow for Benfica, but the club remains optimistic about his recovery and the possibility of him returning to action soon.
