Real Madrid breathed a collective sigh of relief on Tuesday morning, after Karim Benzema’s injury fears had been allayed, following important evidence of an adductor problem suffered against Valencia.
The former Lyon striker had to leave the pitch in a 4-1 loss to Los Che, and there were real concerns that it could be a major injury that kept him on the sidelines for a while.
Testing has determined that the adductor discomfort he felt Sunday was simply the result of playing too much, which is happening to many players in the current congested schedule.
The results showed that the player suffered no major damage and will have no problem being ready to play in the club’s next LaLiga Santander game, which will be played on November 21 against Villarreal.
This news is a relief for Zinedine Zidane as the French coach has been forced to admit that he may have had to go through decisive games against Inter, Shakhtar Donetsk and Borussia Monchengladbach without his main central striker.
Benzema will need a week off to fully recover, which is the only benefit of his international career being completely over.
He scored the only goal for the meringues in the defeat against Valencia, while adding two more in the games against Inter, Borussia Monchengladbach and Huesca.
Benzema has scored five goals in his last four outings, suggesting he is quickly finding the form that made him so reliable in 2019/20.
This is largely due to Eden Hazard’s return, with the pair immediately forming a connection on the field, which is something Zidane hopes to develop further in the run-up to winter break.
Goals have been a problem for Los Blancos for a long time, and given Luka Jovic’s disappointing performances when given a chance, the fact that Benzema is not ruled out for a while is a huge relief to everyone associated with the club. .
