the list of matches that Benzema will miss, the record for Giroud?

If Real Madrid won easily against Celtic Glasgow last night with a score of 3-0, the important thing was perhaps elsewhere. Indeed, Karim Benzema, the captain of the White House, left his side after only half an hour of play, hit in the right knee. The day after this physical glitch, his club communicated on his injury: “Following the examinations carried out on our player Karim Benzema by the medical services of Real Madrid, he was diagnosed with a semitendinosus muscle injury and a quadriceps overload, both in the right thigh. Pending further development,” the official statement read.

A return in early October?

If no duration is clearly indicated, the daily brand indicates for his part that the French international will not be back before the end of the international break. With the Merengues, he would therefore miss the derby against Atlético Madrid, but also the shock against RB Leipzig in the Champions League. With the Blues, he would therefore not be present for the next Nations League matches and the matches against Austria and Denmark. On this occasion, and as was already the case during the striker’s last absence, Didier Deschamps called on Olivier Giroud. As a reminder, the AC Milan striker is only three goals away from Thierry Henry’s record in Blues. A unique opportunity for him to settle definitively at the top of this ranking!

to summarize

Affected against Celtic Glasgow, Karim Benzema will miss the next few weeks of competitions with the French team and Real Madrid, to return in early October, enough to leave room for Giroud with the Blues?
