Benzema could play in CWC final but Madrid do not want to force it

Real Madrid need Karim Benzema. For this reason, the club have to look after him as much as possible so that the striker recovers from his muscle fatigue.
The Spanish side do not want to force Benzema any further as they have Champions League matches coming up and want the France international to be in the best possible form.
According to 'Marca', the striker will not start the clash against Al Ahly in the Club World Cup. Carlo Ancelotti will keep an eye on his situation during his stay in Morocco. Benzema will only be able to play in the final if he is fully recovered and if Madrid qualify.
Benzema had to be substituted in the match against Valencia because of niggles. Rodrygo came on in his place to avoid a more serious injury. However, the Frenchman is still out of action to compete at the highest level.
