This Saturday the unfortunate news was confirmed that the French striker Karim Benzema will not play the Qatar 2022 World Cup after a muscle tear that left him out of said competition. Faced with this reality, the newly elected Ballon d’Or assured that he has to “think about the team”, “as he always” has “done”.
“In my life I have never given up, but tonight I have to think about the team, as I always have, so reason tells me to give up my place to someone who can help our group have a great World Cup. Thank you for all your messages of support. Allez les bleus!“Karim Benzema wrote through his Instagram account.
The French striker had to leave the training session in which he came to train with the rest of the squad for the first time, precisely because he had been having physical problems.
“Injured in the left quadriceps, striker Karim Benzema is forced to give up his participation in the World Cup“The French Football Federation later wrote in a statement.
France has been the hardest-hit team prior to the start of the World Cup Qatar 2022. In addition to Benzema, other names such as Paul Pogba, Presnel Kimpembe, Christopher Nkunku and N’Golo Kanté, join the list of players that Didier Deschamps will not be able to count on.
