Karim Benzema will miss the World Cup in Qatar. French drama
Karim Benzema has made no secret that the performance at the World Cup will be the biggest challenge for him in four years. The Real Madrid striker began training with the rest of the national team on Saturday (November 19) – the day before the start of the tournament and three days before the inaugural meeting between France and Australia. Unfortunately, Benzema soon reported a muscle injury which forced him to end his training prematurely. This moment turned out to be crucial.
In a press release, the French federation confirmed the worst-case scenario. Due to health issues, the Ballon d’Or winner won’t be on the pitch during the World Cup. The player has already accepted this decision.
The whole team shares Karim’s grief and wishes him a speedy recovery.
I never gave up, but that night I had to think about the team. The reason for the resignation is to give the place to someone who will help our team to make it a great world championship. Thank you for all your words of support,” Karim Benzema wrote on social media.
