Held in check by Elche (2-2) on the occasion of the 22nd day of La Liga, Real Madrid, always installed at the head of the championship, also lost Karim Benzema, released on injury against the Franjiverdes. Touched in the back of the left thigh, the Madrid striker was thus examined, this Monday, for nearly four hours by the medical staff of the Merengues. And the news is reassuring according to the information revealed by AS.
Indeed, as indicated by the Spanish media, the French international striker would suffer from a contracture in the left hamstring, a direct consequence of an accumulation of playing time. If the number 9 of the Madrid club, which must undergo an MRI on Tuesday to confirm this first diagnosis, should be unavailable to face Athletic Bilbao on February 3 in the King’s Cup, his presence for the round of 16 first leg against PSG on February 15, on the other hand, is not not questioned. Very good news for the people of Madrid who will, for sure, need their star to defeat the band at Kylian Mbappé.
