France: sensational news about Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema, never replaced on roster, could play in World Cup: healing injury

Karim Benzema could play with France at the World Cup in Qatar: the French striker, never replaced by Didier Deschamps, is reportedly on the mend from the muscle problem that had stranded him just hours before the start of the World Cup in Qatar, according to rumors reported by RMC.

The Real Madrid forward had hurt the quadriceps in his left thigh, but the injury is reportedly less serious than expected and the 2022 Ballon d’Or winner is already set to return to training with the Blancos in Spain when Ancelotti’s men’s training camp scheduled for early December begins.

According to French media, Deschamps could thus decide to recall him for the knockout phase of the World Cup, since by rule the player is still on the roster and has never been replaced, so much so that he would receive the medal in the event of a rainbow victory for the Bleus even if he never took the field.
