Ancelotti defends Benzema for not playing ahead of World Cup

Carlo Ancelotti has defended Karim Benzema from accusations he is not playing with Real Madrid to be ready for the World Cup
NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • Associated Press
Out against Cadiz Benzema (strain) will miss Thursday's match against Cadiz.
Impact Benzema was leaning towards not playing Thursday as he was limited in training throughout the week. With just one appearance in the last five games, Benzema has had fitness issues this season and more recently was protected so he could get ready for the World Cup. That will now be his next focus, as Benzema is in line for a major role with France in Qatar and in his absence Rodrygo should get another start at center-forward.
NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Considered doubtful to face Cadiz Benzema (strain) is considered doubtful to face Cadiz on Thursday, according to MARCA.
Impact Benzema was still training in the gym during Tuesday's session and may just be rested to prepare for the World Cup. Should that happen, Rodrygo would likely make another start at central-forward and Marco Asensio could continue his fine form on the right wing.

Impact Benzema has played just once in the last four matches, largely due to fatigue which will force him out of Monday's game as well. Look for Rodrygo to start at central-forward once again.

Benzema joins list of players who will miss the World Cup

Not every soccer star will be competing at the World Cup
NOVEMBER 2, 2022 • Associated Press
Named to match-day squad Benzema (quadriceps) was included in the match-day squad to face Celtic on Wednesday.
Impact Benzema returns to the squad having missed the previous three matches due to his quadriceps injury. While the forward will be a bench option for Wednesday's UCL contest, he should be in the mix to reclaim his spot in the starting XI for Real Madrid, perhaps as early as Monday's clash with Rayo Vallecano. Benzema will no doubt be eager to prove he is fit ahead of the World Cup in order to secure his spot in the French squad.
NOVEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Late call on status Benzema (quadriceps) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's match against Celtic, according to manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Impact Benzema's status will come down to the wire as he's already missed three straight games. If he's not risked as a starter, Rodrygo or Eden Hazard should start as the central-forward.

Trains alone Monday Benzema (quadriceps) trained on his own during Monday's session ahead of Wednesday's match against Celtic.
Impact Benzema is getting managed quite carefully, as he's already missed three matches and may not be risked for Wednesday's game either. Should that happen, Rodrygo should continue as the center-forward unless Eden Hazard is handed a start.

Madrid held by Girona in Spanish league in another setback

Real Madrid has been held by Girona to a 1-1 draw at home in the Spanish league to follow up its first loss of the season in all competitions
OCTOBER 30, 2022 • Associated Press
Ruled out Sunday Benzema (quadriceps) won't be available for Sunday's match against Girona, according to manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Impact Benzema likely could've played through whatever is ailing him but that's not necessarily needed in a deep team and with the World Cup not far away. As Rodrygo isn't fully fit either, Eden Hazard and Mariano are next in line as potential starter at center-forward. Since Benzema has now missed two straight games, don't expect him to play in all three of the remaining games before the World Cup aside from getting enough time to recover his fitness.
