Karim Benzema's departure from France's training camp ahead of the reigning champions' World Cup opener was unexpected and caught the player out of the blue. In fact, not only is the national team aware of it, but Real Madrid are also keeping an eye on their striker.
The injury that he picked up in the match against Celtic in the first round of the Champions League has been the one that the Frenchman has been carrying over to the current day. Rumours grew at the club that the Ballon d'Or was resting for the World Cup.
However, this setback has not changed the plans at the Santiago Bernabeu and Real Madrid are not considering signing a striker in the winter transfer window despite the injury to their star player, according to 'Marca'. The club are clear that with the Frenchman and Rodrygo they have enough for the rest of the season.
The injury has happened at the best moment of the former Olympique Lyon player's career, but the Spanish club have given him total and absolute confidence. There is talk that he is and will be Madrid's striker until at least 2024.
In the weeks leading up to the start of the World Cup training camp, Benzema had no injuries other than fatigue and muscle strain. The muscle tear has come at a time when there is no time to react and he will start his recovery to get back to his best level.
Ancelotti said weeks ago that the squad would not welcome any additions, except for desired but unlikely departures. Nothing has changed. It is true that Real Madrid will be aware, but there is no target set and the plan not to make any signings remains the same.
