The French striker Karim Benzema, who will not argue with Qatar World Cup after suffering a muscle tear in training on Saturday, he regretted his loss from the tournament and insisted he had to “think about the team”, “as usual” which he “has done”.
“In my life I never give up, but tonight I have to think about the team, as I always do, so reason tells me to give my place to someone who can help our group have a great World Cup. Thank you for all your messages of support. Allez les bleus!”, Benzema wrote on his Instagram account
The Real Madrid player, the last winner of the Ballon d’Or, had to leave the training session where, for the first time since he joined France, he exercised with the rest of his teammates.
“Injured in the left quadriceps, the Real Madrid striker has been forced to give up his participation in the World Cup,” the French federation said in a statement.
