Breaking: Karim Benzema Out Of The World Cup

Published

Days before France’s World Cup opener, Karim Benzema was dealt another blow to his injuries.

The Real Madrid player who will win the Ballon d’Or in 2022 has missed 11 games this season due to injury, but he was still selected for the Les Blues team in Qatar despite worries about his health.

The 34-year-first old’s workout with his colleagues since the team reunited at their headquarters in Doha was on Saturday.

Benzema was compelled to leave the session, and his participation in Qatar, where France will be attempting to defend their world championship, is now seriously questioned.

According to reports, Benzema has been dealing with two different injuries: a hamstring issue and a knee strain.

However, according to RTL, Benzema’s most recent issue is a thigh ailment, not a recurrence of earlier issues. Scanners will examine the striker in the upcoming hours.

France’s campaign gets underway against Australia on Tuesday night, and it ends with a match against Denmark on Saturday. On November 30, they put an end to their collective assault against Tunisia.

Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante, two crucial players in the defending champions’ 2018 victory in Russia, have both been ruled out, dealing the team a number of injury blows going into the competition.

A second setback is that Didier Deschamps is also missing RB Leipzig star Christophe Nkunku, who last week was hurt while practicing after being challenged by Eduardo Camavinga.

Since Nkuku’s club informed the French team of the severity of his injuries on Saturday morning, he has been replaced.

Leipzig announced in a statement on Saturday that Christo Nkunku tore the LCL in his left knee while working out with the French national squad on November 15.
