Nicolás Otamendi injury updates for Benfica
Nicolás Otamendi, the Portuguese midfielder, has been ruled out indefinitely after suffering a serious ankle injury in training on Sunday.
The midfielder had been involved in several high-profile matches for Benfica this season, but his performance has been inconsistent and he has not yet regained his form.
It is unclear how long Otamendi will be sidelined, but it is likely that he will miss at least one or two games before he can return to full fitness.
The club's medical team have already spoken to Otamendi's family about his injuries, and they are hopeful that he will make a full recovery soon.
However, it remains to be seen whether Otamendi will be able to play again in the upcoming fixtures, as the team's manager, José Mourinho, stated that "it is not possible to play with him."
Benfica fans will be disappointed to hear that their star player is no longer part of the team, but they should not dwell too much on the negative news. The team is still strong and the players are working hard to improve their performances.
It is important to remember that Otamendi is just one member of the Benfica squad, and the club has other talented players who could step up and fill the void left by his departure.
