The club has not, for the time being, given more details on his state of health and his duration of unavailability. Karim Benzema had already felt slight muscle discomfort during Real Madrid training on Friday. And as a reminder, the coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps, will communicate on November 9 the list of players who will compete in the World Cup in Qatar (November 20-December 18).
Contacted by franceinfo: sport, Edouard Lipka, former doctor of the French football team, wants to be reassuring. “It’s not worrying. In general, because I don’t have access to his medical file, it’s stage 1 of muscle damage. He must have a little strain. You have to rest for seven days and everything should Return to normal.”
During the next few days, Karim Benzema should still be able to train, continues the former doctor of the Blues. “He can train in an appropriate way, with a physiotherapist or a physical trainer, to maintain his condition without putting too much strain on his suffering muscle.” He should therefore be back on his feet for the World Cup in Qatar, which will open in less than a month.
