Today, Wednesday, a Spanish press report revealed the position of French striker Karim Benzema, Real Madrid’s striker, before the derby against Atletico Madrid.
Real Madrid will visit Atletico Madrid, next Sunday, at the Wanda Metropolitano, in the matches of the sixth round of the Spanish League.
The newspaper added that the medical staff of Real Madrid refuses to risk giving the French striker the green light to participate in the match against Atletico Madrid.
The newspaper pointed out that the medical staff of Real Madrid knows the importance of the derby match, which precedes the camp of the French national team, but the absence of the player from the next three matches will give him the opportunity to recover and return better.
Benzema left Real Madrid’s match against Celtic, last Tuesday, in the 30th minute, in the first round matches of the group stage of the Champions League.
