Benavidez was withdrawn after picking up an apparent groin injury in the first half of Friday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

Benavidez made his second straight start at center-back but failed to make a meaningful impact before his forced substitution. This issue puts his participation in doubt for the next league clash with Getafe, with the no longer suspended Facundo Garces likely able to take his place in the lineup. In any case, the Uruguayan doesn't have a defined recovery timeline, and his production would be greatly limited if he's not healthy enough to play 90 minutes.
