Head coach Diego Ocampo confirmed that the Perpignan-born player has already trained with the team. Benítez was the team's highest-rated player before his injury in December.
“"Hugo trained part of the session today. He is a doubt for Sunday, and Paulicap feels better and will likely train tomorrow and play."
The club has decided that Benítez will not join the France national team during the Copa del Rey break to focus on his full recovery for the remainder of the Liga Endesa season.
