08:56Without the Ballon d’OrThe start of the tournament is still marked by the impact of Karim Benzema’s injury, which will leave the Ballon d’Or without a World Cup. He was not in South Africa 2010 either, when he was not called up, nor in Russia 2018, when he was still separated from the French team due to the ‘Valbuena case’.
