Karim Benzema skips the resumption of training with his club Al-Ittihad. The former French international was absent from training for his club’s resumption on Friday in Jeddah, the capital of Saudi Arabia. According to Marca, who contacted his entourage, the attacker is currently in Mauritius and would be stuck by the passage of Cyclone Belal.
A version far from convincing the management of his club while the situation is tense between the player and Al-Ittihad. Marcelo Gallardo, the club’s coach, has already made the decision to remove him from the group upon his return. The resumption stage scheduled for this Sunday will therefore begin without Karim Benzema.
