Benzema, still on the official list of the Blues
The 34-year-old striker withdrew from the World Cup on November 19 after suffering a thigh injury in training.
His recovery time had been estimated at three weeks by the French Federation.
Not replaced by Didier Deschamps, the Madrid native is still present administratively in the official list of the Blues at the World Cup.
Requested by AFP, FIFA specified that in the event of a coronation, it would award a medal to each player and that Benzema "would be entitled" to one of them, but that the decision to consider him as world champion ultimately returned to the French selection.
