1. Breaking News: Nicolás Otamendi Update from Benfica
Nicolás Otamendi, the Portuguese winger who was signed by Benfica for £24 million in January 2019, has undergone a major surgery on his left knee and is expected to be sidelined for several months.
The 27-year-old has already been out injured since the start of the season but he will return to the team this weekend when they face Braga in the UEFA Europa League. However, it remains unclear whether he will be able to play again or not.
In the meantime, Otamendi's agent,Bundesliga Tracking Roberto Pereira, said that he had been told that Otamendi would need to undergo another operation before he could resume playing. The injury could have serious consequences for Otamendi's career as he is one of Portugal's most talented players.
It is hoped that Otamendi will recover fully enough to play again and contribute to the club's success next season. However, until then, the Portuguese international will have to wait for his recovery and try to adapt to life without the support of his teammates and manager.
