Hard blow for Didier Deschamps. After starting collective training with his teammates this Saturday at the Jassim Bin Hamad stadium, Karim Benzema had to cut short his training, according to information from RMC Sport that we are able to confirm. The striker, victim of a muscular injury, would not be affected at the level of the hamstring which bothered him until then, but in the quadriceps of the other leg. The striker of the Blues and Real Madrid will take exams in the evening.
After doing the normal warm-up with the rest of the team, as was already the case the day before, Karim Benzema had started for the entire session, this time, like defender Raphaël Varane , but when he had started the opposition he had to stop before the end, raising fears of the worst as the Blues begin their World Cup on Tuesday evening (8 p.m., TF 1) against Australia.
The Ballon d’Or, spared by Real Madrid lately, had not participated in a single collective training since the start of the rally. This new physical glitch thwarts the plans of the Blues staff who have been somewhat optimistic in the past 48 hours to see their best player recover in time. Didier Deschamps has until Monday, the day before the entry into the running of the France team, to replace an injured player in the event of a package.
