Karim Benzema occupies the media ground. Since announcing his withdrawal from the 2022 World Cup on November 19, the tricolor striker continues to be talked about. After his departure, the French international caused a stir in Spain, where the media tried to obtain a reaction from him by waiting for him at the gates of the Valdebebas training center. But KB9 didn’t give up. Silent since leaving the Blues, the Ballon d’Or 2022, who only made a tweet to formalize his departure, has been at the heart of the debates in recent days.
In Spain, several accounts announced on social networks that Benzema was recovering faster than expected and that he could return for the World in Qatar. In the aftermath, RMC Sport clarified that the 34-year-old was still on the list of Blues and that he would therefore have the possibility of returning to the French team if his state of health allowed it. Yesterday, Brand indicated that Real Madrid were surprised at the diagnosis made by the tricolor staff. Indeed, the Merengues believe that his injury would be less serious than what was announced.
Deschamps ends hopes of Benzema return
The hope of seeing Benzema back at the World Cup therefore ignited social networks. But the Nueve should not return. Yesterday, TF1 explained that the centre-forward was not expected to return and even had to take a few days off. Information confirmed this Tuesday morning by ImazPress, who posted a photo of KB9 upon his arrival on Reunion Island. He must stay there for a week in order to enjoy a few days with his family on a private property. And if we still had doubts, Didier Deschamps made a big update on the subject this Tuesday at a press conference. The coach was also very annoyed by this question about the number 19 of the Blues.
“Looking for stuff. It’s not something on my mind, you know the situation. I spoke with Karim after he left, you know his situation and the timeframe for him to recover. I don’t know where you want to go with your question. I take care of the 24 players who are there even if Kimpembe came and that I exchanged with Paul Pogba, and other former players. I let you talk about it, debate, imagine. I’m not going to invent things that don’t concern our daily lives. » The Benzema file is closed!
