You have to remember that Karim Benzema He suffered a rectus femoris injury during one of France’s first training sessions on Qatari soil, which immediately made him return to Madrid and theoretically forget about the World Cup.
In the same way, the Real Madrid attacker has not played a full game since October, since he has presented some muscular and knee problems.
The press in France points out that Karim Benzema is practically recovered from the injury and could rejoin the French squad on Thursday since he was never dropped. 😱🇫🇷 ✅#ForTheWhoDie ⚽️ pic.twitter.com/3eabowE1zh

On the other hand, the world champion nation never replaced Benzema on its list of 26 called up for Qatar, so the Madrid captain can return whenever he wants. Even if he does not see action in the tournament, the Lyon youth squad would receive a gold medal if his team gets the star again.
It should not be ruled out that Karim Benzema will rejoin the French squad between Thursday and Friday, in order to be available for the direct elimination phase of the World Cup in Qatar.
