Among all the defeats suffered by Alianza Lima throughout the season, there is one that dates back to last year: Christian Benavente. The “Chaval” had to undergo surgery and missed all of the Blue-Whites’ games in the first division and the Copa Libertadores in 2023. Fans were once again happy about his return after seeing him in training with the Blue and Whites; However, his return to the fields will still be a long way off as he will have to undergo another operation, explained journalist Javier Sáenz in GolPerú.
According to the press officer, the dual nationality midfielder would not be completely well after his operation and would require further surgery to be in optimal condition and recover from the cruciate ligament rupture he suffered at the end of 2022. In this way, Benavente would miss the entire season with Alianza Lima and his return to the pitch would still be a long way off.
