Despite the absence of Karim Benzema, the French team has climbed to the final of the 2022 World Cup.
He was to be a major player in the Blues World Cup in Qatar this winter, Karim Benzema ultimately missed this crucial meeting due to a muscle injury. His package was recorded from the base camp of the Blues a few hours before the first match against Australia in the group stage. Since then, many things have been said about Karim Benzema. According to the Spanish press, the center-forward of Real Madrid is fully recovered and if the medical staff of the French team had not rushed to send him home, “KB9” would have been operational from the eighth of final. This is how after the victory of the French team against Morocco on Wednesday evening, a journalist asked Didier Deschamps if it was possible to see Karim Benzema return for the final against Argentina, Sunday at 4 p.m. .
Deschamps annoyed by questions about Benzema
This is technically possible as Karim Benzema is still part of the 26-man list submitted to FIFA since he hasn’t been substituted. But the Madrid striker having left the group three weeks ago, it is of course unthinkable for Didier Deschamps to call him back for a match as important as a final. The coach of the Blues was therefore annoyed by this question after the success of his team against Morocco in the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar. “I prefer not to answer. Next question “ simply reacted Didier Deschamps, annoyed to have to react to this kind of question about Karim Benzema, officially forfeited for the entire World Cup in the eyes of the French staff… although the 36-year-old striker has resumed collective training with the rest of his teammates at Real Madrid for a week.
