His package was therefore only short-lived. French striker Karim Benzema will start with Real Madrid in Valladolid this Friday evening (9:30 p.m.) for the resumption of the Spanish championship (15th day), five weeks following leaving the France team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar due to a thigh injury. According to the team composition announced by Real Madrid on its social networks, Karim Benzema will therefore return to competition this Friday, following two months without playing, at the forefront of the Madrid attack alongside Vinicius Jr and Marco Asensio.
Removed from the Blues on November 19, barely three days before their start once morest Australia, Benzema waited for France’s defeat in the final once morest Argentina to announce the “fin” of his career in the France team, on December 19. His recovery time had been estimated at three weeks by the French Federation (FFF).

“Karim came back on December 10, following the holidays we gave to everyone who was at the World Cup. He came back quite well, he started working with the team. He played thirty minutes in the first friendly match, then 45, and his physical condition has improved. He’s very excited to come back, because he didn’t play much in the first half of the season, and I’m sure he’ll show all his quality “, said his coach Carlo Ancelotti on Thursday.
After two months without playing, Benzema finds the pitch
“I’m not going to comment on the decision that France made. For them, he didn’t have the opportunity to play at the World Cup. For us, we saw a player full of motivation and enthusiasm return. He will help us a lot in the second half of the season”, also commented on the Madrid coach.
The last match of “KB9” in competition dates back to November 2: he had played 28 minutes in the big 5-1 victory once morest Celtic Glasgow in the Champions League, at the Bernabéu.
