Well, the coach of the Brazilian national team is optimistic about Neymar and says that he will still play at this World Cup. According to the team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar, Neymar's sprained ankle was treated too early immediately after the end of the match, I hope that he will still continue playing at the WC.

It seems to me that the worst thing that can happen to Neymar is that he will have to miss a couple of games, this is a minor injury and should not lead to more significant consequences. Brazil already have 3 points and in the remaining two games of the group stage they need to win at least once - this is an easy task given that their opponents are not so strong, so there is no danger that the absence of Neymar will be important. And to be honest, I think Brazil, even without Neymar, will score 7 or 9 points in the group.
Its a matter of sorrow for the Brazil fans. Last Thursday Brazilian duo Neymar and Danilo suffered injuries during the game against Serbia. Due to which they will miss the rest of the group matches. Brazil will play two matches against Switzerland and Cameroon in which both of them will not be able to play.
According to the doctor, "Neymar and Danilo went through a MRI on Friday afternoon and found ligament damage in both of their ankles. Doctors said that they will certainly miss the next matches. But the doctors are trying so hard so that they can come back to the World Cup again.
Well, I see that Neymar is not that serious, I think that as I said before, those of us who play football have all experienced an ankle this swollen and we know that if we subject it to certain activities it can improve quickly, in South America especially near Where I live, when many years ago I had an injury of this type, the best thing for me was not to go to a doctor, perhaps to do some x-rays, but if it was not necessary, I would go to a gentleman, and despite the pain that could cause it to be so intense and never experienced before, I came out of there totally improved, of course, these things I don't know if in Europe these types of people are called physiotherapists, but here the gentleman removed that swelling in about 3 minutes, something incredible, but it is like that, ethnonces with all the technology that is currently there in Qatar, I think they should do something much better than that.
Benzema isn't fit now. He is expected to return in less than a week. You can easily find his injury information here:

It is going to be a month since his injury started. Otherwise there was no reason for France not to add him to their World Cup squad. Giroud is already very helpful for the team now of course. But if Benzema was here then Giroud would wait for his turn in the subs most probably. Benzema won a Ballon d'Or prize last season. He is still a very important player for not only Real Madrid but also France national team. Mbappe and Benzema have a really good understanding of each other in national matches.

It is very unfortunate for the France team not to have Benzema in action. On the other hand, they do have enough replacements for him in the squad to cover his absence. Olivier Giroud has been playing really well in the tournament and there is nothing to talk about Kylian Mbappe as he is the top scorer of the tournament so far scoring five goals already.
The addition of Karim Benzema would've been great for the French people as he has been in top form with Real Madrid so far and also with the France international team. I hope that Giroud and Kylian Mbappe fill the shoes of Karim Benzema well enough because this France team looks like it has the potential to defend the trophy at this World Cup.

Well, it's time to wait and see Benzema in action, for me he is already fine, he must be doing gym work, having his therapies and everything required, is that France has a great team, but you have to be realistic, here is the one who Mbappé is enjoying his good moment, although personally I don't like how the player is as a person, and how he has been, well, it cannot be denied that he is a crack, that is something he has, just as Ney has been highly criticized by many, I think that Mbappé, according to his performances at PSG, was what I did not like because he should not choose who to put and who not, he is not the ideal person to do it either, I think that Benzema may already be against England.
Benzema, Alaba to return to Real Madrid training next Saturday report
Quote
According to journalist Arancha Rodriguez (h/t RM4Arab), Real Madrid duo Karim Benzema and David Alaba will return to the club next Saturday and rejoin training ahead of the resumption of the La Liga season later this month.
Benzema has not played for Los Blancos since the first week of November when he featured against Celtic in the UEFA Champions League. Having struggled with muscular discomfort, the Frenchman has missed a good number of matches for the club already.
While he looked set to recover in time for the FIFA World Cup, a thigh injury in training ruled him out of the France squad for the tournament in Qatar. Having returned to Madrid, Benzema soon departed to the Reunion Islands for a vacation.
