DBasia.news – France received good news from its flagship striker, Karim Benzema. The Real Madrid forward is expected to recover in time before Euro 2020 kicks off.
Previously, Karim Benzema made France anxious after suffering an injury in the match against Bulgaria. The striker had problems with his legs and had to be replaced by Olivier Giroud.
There are concerns about Benzema’s condition. Moreover, France will face the German national team on Wednesday (16/6). Les Bleus’ medical team is racing against time to make a recovery.
According to Marca’s report, France can smile. After a thorough scan, the 33 year old striker’s injury was not as severe as the initial diagnosis.
Now, Benzema will receive intensive treatment to reduce the pain. The striker is expected to return to training in the coming days.
Therefore, Benzema still has a chance to show off in the first match against Germany. Of course, the presence of Benzema is highly expected to accompany Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann on the front lines.
However, it remains to be seen whether Karim Benzema can play from the first minute. Because, if Benzema has not recovered 100%, Didier Deschamps is not expected to take the risk.
France also still has a number of strikers who can be the spearhead. Apart from Olivier Giroud, Marcus Thuram and Wissam Ben Yedder are ready for action.
