Benzema vs Atlético Madrid?
Karim Benzema está prácticamente descartado de cara al partido del Metropolitano del próximo domingo.
— Miguel Ángel Díaz (@miguelitocope) September 14, 2022
COPE journalist Miguel Ángel Díaz claims: “Karim Benzema is practically ruled out for next Sunday’s Metropolitano game.”
Rodrygo has therefore been thrust into the line-up in the two matches that the Frenchman has missed.
Madrid are well equipped to manage without Benzema as they also have other options who could start in attack, including Federico Valverde, Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio.
“We will see in these days if he can train.”
