Is Karim Benzema prioritising World Cup and missing out Real Madrid matches?

Benzema has been missing Madrid matches following his discomfort while some saying that he does not want to risk an injury prior to his flight to Qatar.

Ballon D’or holder Karim Benzema has been missing a lot of matches for Real Madrid lately after picking up an injury weeks ago. While some reports say that the medical reports failed to identify it as an injury, suspicions have taken shape stating that the French international fears missing the world cup and wants to avoid the risk after all.

Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has called the fear claims as “nonsense” in a press conference. ‘He hasn’t been able to come back with this discomfort, which is a small thing. I don’t have anything to say to (talk of Benzema saving himself for the World Cup).

‘The first one who is hurt is Karim, who arrives at the World Cup without having the minutes he needed to be in the best condition. I don’t believe it, it’s nonsense. It’s not a serious problem.’

There is also a report from the Sport via The Real Champs which says that Real Madrid are unimpressed by Karim Benzema’s attitude and on the contrary the Madrid striker is very angry with all the accusations against him of prioritising the World Cup according to Spanish reporter Jose Luis Sanchez.

Real Madrid has dearly missed their talisman’s absence as their unbeaten run in both UCL and LaLiga ended in his absence with defeats against RB Leipzig and Rayo Vallecano respectively. Everyone is divided on the basis of their opinions of this Karim Benzema saga but hope to see him in action in his first world cup after his removal from the French National Team years ago.
