Insua's Argentina finished at the foot of the final group stage of the competition, missing out on a place at the FIFA U20 World Cup for the first time in sixteen years.
Having established himself in the Reds first team before heading off to Venezuela, Benitez is now keen for Insua to pick up where he left off and stake a claim for the left back slot in his starting eleven.
"He was playing really well before he went away," said Benitez. "He played a few games for us and did a good job.
"He has played a lot of football with his country, but some games were at left back and others at centre back. Defenders don't run as far when they play in the middle, so we'll have to have a look at him when he gets back to see if he needs a little break.
"It's good to have him back, though. At this stage of the season the more players you have competing for positions in the team the better the situation is."
