BREAKING: Bombshell as Karim Benzema is OUT of the World Cup

VOICE AIR MEDIA

Karim Benzema’s World Cup dreams are over after he was ruled out of the World Cup after suffering an injury in training.

The Real Madrid striker saw his first full training session in the middle-east brought to an early conclusion after he suffered an injury on Saturday.

He was then brought in for a scan in Doha and it had been hoped that would he just miss their opener against Australia on Tuesday.

However, it was not good news for the 34-year-old, and France have confirmed that he will take no part at the World Cup, as he suffered a thigh injury which will keep him out for three weeks.

A statement by the French national team on their social media accounts said: ‘Karim Benzema is forced to give up participating in the World Cup.

‘The whole team shares Karim’s sadness and wishes him a speedy recovery.’

It is just the latest setback for France who have already had prolific RB Leipzig striker Christopher Nkunku ruled out after an injury in training.

The likes of Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kante, Presnel Kimpembe and goalkeeper Mike Maignan were all unavailable for selection due their own injuries.
