Seventh this season .. Karim Benzema is injured again!
Injuries have haunted Karim Benzema since start of current season.
Frenchman Karim Benzema, Real Madrid’s Spanish captain, continues to be absent from group training for the royal team for the third day in a row, amid fears of a severe injury.
Benzema entered the Real Madrid clinic for the seventh time this season, which raises doubts about the physical condition of the French star, especially since he is currently thirty-five years old.
English newspaper “The Athletic” revealed that Benzema suffers from ankle discomfort, and that his injury is not serious, and he can be present naturally against Liverpool in the second leg of the round of sixteen of the Champions League 2022-23.
Benzema received a heavy blow during Real Madrid’s goalless draw against Real Betis last Sunday in the Spanish League, and has been training since that time in the gym.
Benzema is likely to appear during the Espanyol match next Saturday in the 25th round of the Spanish League, but that depends on him going to training normally on Friday.
However, the report indicates that Benzema and the Italian, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, do not want to take risks, which may lead to the Frenchman’s absence from facing Espanyol, given the importance of facing Liverpool next Wednesday evening.
