Alert at Real Madrid: Benzema doesn't train

The Frenchman already had 8 first team players out and Karim Benzema has joined them after missing training on Friday.

Karim Benzema joined the 8 players missing on Friday 19th February, as he wasn't able to train alongside his team-mates in the morning session.

More problems for a Zidane that now has 9 first team players in the injury room, after that unexpected absence from the French striker at training on Friday.

It seems, according to 'Marca', that Benzema only has light discomfort and the doctors prefer not to force the area so that it doesn't become complicated. This injury could be linked to the knock to the ankle that he suffered against Valencia.

Madrid face Atalanta on Wednesday in the Champions League.
