France's 4-0 win over Armenia, according to coach
Didier Deschamps.
Didier Deschamps has confirmed that Karim Benzema picked up
a hamstring injury in France's convincing friendly win over
Armenia.
The Real Madrid forward netted a quickfire double late in the
second half in Nice on Thursday, putting the result beyond all
doubt after earlier strikes from Antoine Griezmann and Yohan
Cabaye.
However, the 27-year-old hobbled off in the 80th minute, feeling
his left thigh, and Deschamps, who said prior to kick-off that he
would not substitute Benzema in response to the striker
being taken off in six of his eight matches for Madrid so far this
term, has admitted that early indications suggest a hamstring
problem.
"Benzema has felt some great discomfort behind the thigh,
[that's why] we take him off straight away," he said. "I hope that
it is nothing serious but we don't know yet."
Benzema has scored nine goals in total so far this season for
club and country.
