Benzema has been dealing with that kind of muscle discomfort for a while now and the team’s coaching staff want to take a cautious approach with him given how long the 2022-2023 season will be for Los Blancos.

Real Madrid are still the favorites to beat Girona even without Benzema, so that’s why it makes sense for Los Blancos to give him some more time to recover from those physical problems.

Rodrygo will replace him in the starting lineup as long as Benzema is still out.

Rodrygo has been doing an excellent job so far this season and Ancelotti will be hoping to see him keeping it up at least ahead of the break.

Meanwhile…

Real Madrid center back Eder Militao has obtained his Spanish passport and is no longer a non-EU player, according to a report from Arancha Rodriguez, and verified by Cadena Cope.

Real Madrid no longer have any non-EU players in the squad. Clubs are allowed to have a maximum of three non-EU players on their rosters, which plays into the squad building process.

This now provides a window of opportunity for top targets like Jude Bellingham and Endrick, as well as providing a pathway for first team minutes to Reinier Jesus and Vinicius Tobias.
