Nicolás Otamendi is one of the most talented defenders in football and has played for several top clubs including Manchester City, Inter Milan, and Benfica. However, he has also faced numerous injuries during his career.

Otamendi joined Benfica from Manchester City in January 2018. He was expected to be a key player for the club as they looked to challenge for the title. However, he suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out of action for several months.

In May 2019, Otamendi returned to training after recovering from his injury. However, he struggled with fitness and form throughout the season, which led to speculation about his future at the club.

In June 2019, it was reported that Otamendi had been offered a new contract by Benfica but rejected it. This caused a rift between him and the club, who were keen on keeping him at the club.

Since then, Otamendi has not played for Benfica and has been linked with moves away from the club. In February 2020, it was reported that he had agreed to join Juventus on loan until the end of the season. However, this move never materialized due to a lack of funds for the transfer.

In recent weeks, there have been reports that Otamendi may return to Benfica on loan. However, this has yet to be confirmed by the club or himself.

Overall, it seems that Otamendi's time at Benfica is up in the air. He has struggled with injuries and form over the past few years and it remains to be seen if he will be able to recover and play for the club again.
