“You will be needed in the World Cup”: Rodrygo’s message to Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema received hard news this Saturday. An injury suffered in the practice of the French team left the striker without the Qatar 2022 World Cup and, as expected, he received the support of his colleagues. The Brazilian Rodrygo, like the one who shares a dressing room at Real Madrid, left him an emotional message.

“The best must compete in the best. You will be needed in the World Cup. Good recovery KB9″wrote the ‘Canarinha’ striker in a publication in which he included an image together with Benzema of one of the many goal celebrations with a Merengue shirt.

While Benzema will be left wanting to play in his second World Cup, Rodrygo and the Brazilian delegation arrived in Qatar this Saturday to continue their preparation for their long-awaited debut, on Thursday, November 24, against Serbia.

Benzema, sensitive loss in France

The medical examinations carried out on the Real Madrid striker confirmed an injury to the quadriceps level of the left thigh that “It will require a period of convalescence of three weeks”, specified the French Football Federation.

FIFA regulations allow a new player to be called up until Monday, the eve of France-Australia, to make a last-minute change due to injury.

The 2022 Ballon d’Or, with discomfort in his right thigh for a month, participated in his first training session with the group this Saturday, but “He was forced to shorten the session“due to pain at the level of the quadriceps of the left thigh,” said the FFF.

The decision to drop him was made after a conversation between Les Bleus doctor Franck Le Gall and Didier Deschamps.
