And the French newspaper “L’Equipe” reported that the Spanish Real Madrid striker was forced to leave France early due to injury, on Saturday, in a heavy blow to the defending champion 3 days before his first match in the World Cup.
Benzema, the Golden Ball winner, who was suffering from a muscle injury, along with fellow defender Raphael Varane, returning from a knee injury, participated in the French national team training, on Saturday, for the first time since arriving in Qatar.
