Bad news for France a day before the start of the World Cup and sports fans. Karim Benzema left the training of the "blues" at the Jassim bin Hammad Stadium and seems to have missed not only the first match against Australia, which will take place next Tuesday, but the entire World Cup.

The striker had joined the group today (Saturday), along with Varane, for the first time since the start of the build-up. During the 15 minutes open to the media, he trained normally, but halfway through the closed-door session he had to leave.

According to "L'Equipe, medical tests show muscle tears in the left quadriceps.

Even the French Federation is silent for the moment about Benzema's physical condition, but the main media have reported that he has lost Boteror. The forward was following a plan for a gradual return to group dynamics and the feelings were still good. In yesterday's training session behind closed doors, the player already took another step, although he was still outside the group, with strength exercises and shots on goal.

Both the player and the French doctors have been optimistic all along about the forward's return for the debut match against Australia on the 22nd, but what happened in the half session this Saturday does not bode well for his condition physical.
