Nicolás Otamendi, the Argentine footballer who plays as a centre-back for Manchester City in England, has been injured while playing for Benfica, a Portuguese club. The details of his injury have not yet been revealed by the club or the player himself.
Otamendi, who was born in Argentina but moved to Portugal with his family when he was young, joined Benfica in January this year. He made his debut for the team in a friendly match against Sporting CP and played well enough to earn a place in the starting line-up for their next game against FC Porto.
However,Serie A Stadium during that match, Otamendi suffered an injury to his left knee and had to be replaced by a substitute. It is unclear whether the injury is serious or if it can be treated without surgery.
If Otamendi's injury is serious, it could have a significant impact on the performance of the Argentine team. Benfica have already lost several key players due to injuries, and Otamendi's absence would only add to the list of injuries they face.
It remains to be seen how long Otamendi will be out of action and what steps the club and player will take to ensure his recovery. In the meantime, Benfica will need to find a suitable replacement for him in their upcoming matches.
