Benzema misses Real’s derby with Atletico, which has been out for almost three weeks
The muscle injury he picked up against Celtic means Karim Benzema is likely to be sidelined for almost three weeks and will miss the September 18 derby against Atletico, among other things.
Real took three points from home against Celtic (3-0) in their Champions League group stage opener on Tuesday night but their victory proved short-lived, with Karim Benzema becoming the victim in terms of meringue.
The France international took a hit and left after half an hour. Carlo Ancelotti has expressed optimism his injury will not be serious, but the diagnosis made on Wednesday suggests he could “Semitendinosus injury and quadriceps strain, both right thigh.”
However, according to the Spanish media, Benzema has to pause for around three weeks and beats him on September 18th from the Madrid derby with Atlético and the upcoming Nations League games against France with the opponents Austria (September 22nd, home) and Denmark (25/9, away). ).
His goal is to be ahead ahead of the game against Osasuna on October 2, with Real’s defeat being a big one considering Benzema and Courtois were the only two players not to miss a minute earlier this season .
