Winner of this year’s Ballon d’Or, given to the best player in the world, striker Karim Benzema, 34, is out of the World Cup in Qatar.
The Real Madrid striker, who has been suffering from a thigh problem for a month, left training for the French national team this Saturday (19), and hours later the country’s football federation said he would not recover in time to play in the World Cup. .
Due to the physical problems, Benzema hasn’t played a full game for a month.
Benzema’s absence is a new hard blow for coach Didier Deschamps, who has already lost midfielders Pogba and Kanté, goalkeeper Maignan, defender Kimpembe and attacking midfielder Nkunku to injury.
