After lighting up the knockout round of the Champions League against PSG, Karim Benzema would undoubtedly have liked to do the same with the Clasico against Barça in La Liga this Sunday evening (9:00 p.m.). Alas, absent from the final training of Carlo Ancelotti’s men this Saturday noon, the Frenchman had to be forfeited, not only for this match but also for the gathering of the France team. Benzema is reportedly still suffering from his affected left calf against Mallorca.
If Karim Benzema was at the end of Real’s victory over Mallorca last Monday (0-3), a match in which he scored two goals and delivered an assist (22 and 11 in La Liga), he suffered in the last minutes of the left calf. But since Carlo Ancelotti had made all his changes, he stayed on the pitch. It’s unclear whether he has aggravated his injury but one thing is certain, according to Spanish media, ‘KB9’ is unlikely to lead Real Madrid’s attack, wide La Liga leaders, on Sunday night against Barca in the El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Worse for the French international (94 caps, 36 goals), he should also probably have to draw a line under the gathering of the France team which is to face Côte d’Ivoire in Marseille on March 25 in Marseille and the South Africa on the 29th in Lille. Back in selection just before the Euro after being sidelined for five years, Benzema has played all the meetings since his return. In 13 matches, he scored 9 goals and delivered two assists. Above all, he had established a technical relationship which promises enormously with Kylian Mbappé.
