Ousmane Dembele reveals whether Karim Benzema will make World Cup return for France vs Argentina
Ousmane Dembele of Barcelona has acknowledged that Karim Benzema is unlikely to return for France’s 2022 FIFA World Cup final on December 18.
Benzema was forced to withdraw from the Les Bleus squad in Qatar after sustaining a thigh injury in training prior to the tournament’s November start.
Didier Deschamps elected not to call up a substitute for the Real Madrid striker, leaving his roster at 25 players and leaving the door open for Karim Benzema.
After Benzema’s return to action in Real Madrid’s midweek friendly tie with Leganes, rumors about a probable return to the Middle East grew.
Demebele has reiterated Deschamps’ reluctance to remark on the matter in the buildup to the final, and Deschamps has chosen not to comment on the matter in the final buildup.
“It’s not my decision to make, it is up to the coach, but I think he is still injured”, as per reports from Marca.
France hopes to become the first team to defend a World Cup title since Brazil in 1962 when they face Lionel Messi and Argentina this weekend in Lusail.
