Benzema’s effort a few hours before the match between Real Madrid and PSG for the Champions League

Slowly, but surely: this is how Real Madrid handles the Karim Benzema case. In fact, this Sunday, in the training session after the 0-0 against Villarreal, the forward jumped onto the pitch. Although it is news that fills Carlo Ancelotti’s technical command with optimism, it remains to be seen if he will be able to be with the group to face PSG at the start of the knockout stages of the Champions League.

The French striker was on the pitch with the rest of his teammates, but he only participated in some movements. As the newspaper AS tells, it is part of the plan that the French international barely completes part of the daily tasks. A few days before the commitment at the Parque de los Príncipes stadium, the idea of ​​​​the technical command is not to risk the physique of the top gunner of the squad.

That’s why Benzema did some activities with the ball on the grass, he also jogged alone around the field. The desire of the ‘9’ of the ‘White House’ is to appear in one of the most important appointments of the campaign. In this regard, the following sessions will determine the role that the team captain will have against ‘Les Parisiens’. Of course, before the trip there will be a meeting with Ancelotti and the medical staff.

On the eve of the league commitment against the ‘Yellow Submarine’, the Italian strategist has referred to the center forward’s case. “We have good feelings, he is having good feelings. We will see if he will train on Sunday or Monday with the team. Everyone’s feelings are positive, but it will be decided on Sunday or Monday.”he indicated at the press conference before Karim’s participation.

Complete team

Another case that caused concern at Real Madrid was that of Ferland Mendy. The left-back accused of some physical discomfort, but in training on Sunday he looked much better. In fact, Benzema’s compatriot did all the work and, in this way, has confirmed that he is one hundred percent ready for the match against Paris Saint Germain. Similarly, Mariano Díaz also returned to exercise with the group.
