/ Press reports revealed, on Friday, that French striker Karim Benzema sparked “controversy” after deleting photos of Al-Ittihad Club from his official account on the social networking site “Instagram”, especially in light of the absence of the winner of the Golden Ball in 2022 from the team recently and the tension in the relationship with his Saudi team.
In a similar move, the official Instagram account of Al-Ittihad Jeddah cancelled following Real Madrid’s second-highest scorer in history.
Press reports revealed that the relationship is tense between Al-Ittihad Jeddah and the 36-year-old player, who has been absent from training in recent weeks, before appearing in recent days in one of the training sessions.

The daily sports newspaper added: Benzema, who has been absent in recent weeks, returned to training and sparked controversy again. During a training session on Monday, Gallardo ordered the former Real Madrid player to do individual training away from the group, but Benzema refused and became angry, then left the training session.
Marca added: Benzema was not called up for the team’s last match against Al-Ta’ee, and he was seen training in the gym with the injured players, and there is still instability surrounding Benzema’s future with the team.
