Karim Benzema (Reuters)
Although it was reported at the beginning of the day that he had a full training session and his condition had improved, it seems that Karim Benzema is still injured, when the latest reports from Qatar reveal that the striker of the French national team did not train, and the fear is that it is not a worsening of the knee injury, but a new injury to the quadriceps muscle , which was caused by a blow he took in training.
The winner of this ball and striker of Real Madrid, Karim Benzema, who was very doubtful for the tricolor’s opening game against Australia this coming Tuesday, returned to practice with his teammates, but was unable to finish the practice and it seems that he will not start against Australia. As you may remember, the Blancos striker has suffered from various injuries since September, among them a recurring hamstring injury, which caused him to miss the last four league games of the Spanish champions, but as mentioned, it seems that this is a new injury.
On the other hand, the French received encouraging news when Manchester United’s stopper, Raphael Varane, who along with Benzema was in doubt for the match against Australia, returned to full training with the team.
Now, Benzema will certainly not be at the disposal of coach Didier Deschamps in the match against Australia, when the one who is expected to start at the edge of the tricolor is Olivier Giroud. In the meantime, the team will wait for the results of the striker’s tests, with coach Deschamps left to make changes to the squad until Monday evening.
