Following tests carried out on our player Karim Benzema by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the semitendinosus tendon and a strain to the quadricep muscle in his right thigh. His recovery will continue to be assessed.

Benzema will have to miss around two weeks of games with this injury, meaning that right now he is a doubt for the Madrid Derby against Atletico de Madrid, which will be played on September 18th.

In his absence, Rodrygo Goes and Eden Hazard will be expected to replace Benzema in the starting lineup.

The Frenchman avoided a serious injury but he will have to miss a crucial match against Atletico, so Ancelotti will be hoping to see his reserves taking care of the job.

In a recently released interview with the New York Times, Kylian Mbappe discussed many topics, including his choice to re-sign with PSG, his career, the past, and the future.

After opting not to sign for Los Blancos this summer, Mbappe didn’t completely rule out the possibility of doing so in three years (when his contract expires).

“You never know what’s going to happen,” Mbappe said of signing for Real Madrid — a club he’s been a fan of since childhood. “You’ve never been there, but it seems like it’s like your house, or something like this.”
