Benzema is injured, and France risks losing its star

Blues tiles. Karim Benzema’s return to training with the group did not last long. In the afternoon, the Frenchman left the field injured and will definitely miss his scheduled debut on Tuesday at 8pm against Australia. There is no peace for the new Ballon d’Or player, who today returned to coach Deschamps after days of separate action as he recovers from a muscle problem. Benzema is already undergoing specific tests to understand the extent of the injury, but concern is growing in France. Benzema’s World Cup is in great danger.

If the worst-case scenario is confirmed, for Deschamps it will be another heavy absence, following the absences of Kanté, Pogba, Kimpembe, Nkonkwo and Mayignan. The French coach has until Monday, the day before his debut, to inform FIFA of the final list. Milan player Giroud is a candidate to lead the attack against Australia, but in the French retreat, we are already thinking about a possible replacement for Benzema. The possibility that Benzema will remain in Qatar to recover from injury and be available, at best, from the knockout stage and beyond, cannot be ruled out.
