It is this Friday that Karim Benzema was to resume training with Real Madrid, like Raphaël Varane, at the end of their post-Euro vacation.

A return postponed: the Madrid club announced via a very laconic press release that the center-forward of the France team was positive for Covid-19.

Official Release: Karim Benzema.

A setback for Benzema (33) and the Merengue, while La Liga must start on August 14 with a trip to the Basques of Deportivo Alavés.

Like all the Blues, KB9 had been on vacation since June 28 and the premature elimination of the France team in the round of 16 of the Euro by Switzerland.

According to

Marca

, the former Lyonnais should soon extend his contract with Real for one season, until June 2023.
