Benavente's situation at Nantes

Ever since Cristian Benavente arrived at Nantes, he hasn't enjoyed many minutes. The Peruvian forward has never started as a starter and is only used as a substitute in the final minutes of matches. In light of this reality, the coach of the French club, Christian Gourcuff, referred to the current situation of the Peruvian.

"He is a very good player. Cristian has been preparing in a special way because he joined the club's pre-season late," said the French coach in a press conference.

Nantes is in fourth place in Ligue 1 after the last victory against Reims. In that game, Benavente played the last 23 minutes.

In the next match, Nantes will visit Olympique de Lyon on Saturday, September 28th, and it is expected that the Peruvian will have a chance to start the game.
