Is it true that Karim Benzema will miss the World Cup? I read in the news that the injury is quite severe. is there any additional information about this? if that's true. I think France is really having bad luck in this World Cup. because several key players were declared Absent due to previous injuries. now added to the news that Benzema also could not participate in the World Cup due to injury.
I don't know exactly how serious your injury is, but the news is true. For the first time in a long time, a player who wins the Ballon d'Or will not take part in the world cup tournament. This means that the tournament will continue without key players. It is even expected that Martial will be invited to the squad instead of Benzema. An important shortcoming for France is the absence of Benzema.
Now its official, its a big blow for France in my opinion. Do they have suitable replacement who can fill the gap of Karim? France manager confirms there is no replacement for Karim in squad.
I feel very sorry for Benzema as a player, he came to the World Cup at his peak, getting the golden ball, and then such a nuisance.
An injury to such a player like Benzema is a loss for the whole championship.
There is no one to replace such a player in principle, it is evident from the Real Madrid, when Benzema drops out, the team plays weaker at once.
France's main bet now will probably be on the team game and Mbappe.
We cannot blame fate for what has happened before our eyes, so whatever happens we accept, at least France still has an attacker like Olivier Giroud, this player can really break into the opponent's defense, and assisted by Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann, the three of them have brought France won the World Cup for the first time after the Zinédine Zidane generation, even then there was no Karim Benzema in the France squad, football did not see them having the Ballon d'Or, which the player had won, but the quality of the game must also be questioned, but in football You need a solid team to win every game they play.
Team like France shouldn't and it's not depending on one player. With Senegal it's different and absence of Mane is a major setback for them. But I think France will replace Benzema. The bigger problem for them is that Benzema is not the only player who got injured and can't play on this World Cup. There are also Pogba, Kimpembe and few others that will not play.
France actually has a lot of quality players and could easily send two good teams to the World Cup.
It's true that I'm missing a few important players, but if you want to be a world champion, you have to have a lot of quality players and not just depend on one player.
After all, wasn't France the world champion 4 years ago without Benzema?
Of course, for a team like Senegal, which does not have so many quality players, the lack of a main player like Mane is a huge handicap.
If Mane could have played for Senegal against the Netherlands, I have a feeling that Senegal would not have lost that game. It was obvious that Senegal lacked a real striker.
