club for treatment after sustaining a hamstring injury
on international duty.
The French Football Federation (FFF) has confirmed Karim
Benzema will miss Sunday's friendly against Denmark due to a
hamstring problem.
Benzema will now return to club side Real Madrid for treatment
after sustaining the injury in Thursday's 4-0 defeat of Armenia
in Nice.
"Karim Benzema had on Friday morning an MRI scan in Nice
that confirmed the clinical examination the day before and
revealed a grade one hamstring injury in his left leg. The player
is unable to take part in Sunday's game between France and
Denmark and will leave the France camp this afternoon," read
an FFF statement.
It was a cruel ending to the game against Armenia for Benzema,
who maintained his fine form this season with two goals before
having to leave the action with nine minutes to go.
It is also a potential worry for Madrid boss Rafael Benitez, who
is already dealing with accusations of negative football at the
Bernabeu. Benitez came in for criticism after substituting
Benzema in Sunday's 1-1 derby draw with Atletico Madrid.
