Karim Benzema, who is treating a thigh problem, will still not be available with Real Madrid for the reception of Girona on Sunday in La Liga, said Carlo Ancelotti on Saturday, three weeks before the World Cup in Qatar.
The Frenchman trained on Friday but "didn't feel well" after the session, his coach revealed at a press conference, although medical examinations showed "no physical glitch".
After receiving the 2022 Ballon d'Or from Zinedine Zidane on October 17 in Paris, Karim Benzema played 90 minutes in Elche, where he helped his side win 3-0 with one goal.
But on October 22, Real announced that their French goleador suffered from "muscle fatigue in the quadriceps of the left leg", and "KB9" thus missed the last two matches: the 3-1 victory at home against Sevilla, where he presented his Ballon d'Or to the entire Bernabéu, then the trip to Leipzig on Tuesday, where the "White House" suffered its first loss of the season (3-2).
