Not available for final Benzema didn't make the team sheet for Sunday's World Cup final against Argentina.

Impact In news that shouldn't surprise anybody, Benzema won't feature in Sunday's final despite never being taken off the squad list for the French team. He's already back in training and recently played in a friendly so Benzema should be fully fit by the Dec. 30 match at Valladolid. Fitness was a concern for Benzema during the first half of the season so keep Rodrygo on the back-burner whenever an issue might arise.

DECEMBER 15, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Returns in friendly Benzema (thigh) participated in Thursday's friendly against Leganes, according to AS.

Impact Benzema was able to get some minutes off the bench in preparation for a Dec. 30 match at Valladolid. Seeing as he's back in a few weeks rather than the negative diagnosis presented by the French doctors, it was clear that Benzema just needed proper care given some of the injury issues he's had this season. He's scored five times but started in just seven games over the first half of the La Liga campaign and will hope to feature more consistently in 2023. It is also worth noting that he's still allowed to travel back to Qatar for the World Cup final but nothing has been confirmed in that area.
