Karim Benzema Skips Real Madrid Practice Before His Travel To The El Clasico.

Karim Benzema’s fitness will continue to be monitored by Real Madrid before their weekend El Clasico trip to Barcelona.

With a win at the Camp Nou on March 19, Los Blancos want to close the nine-point gap between themselves and their closest rivals for the La Liga championship.

The Frenchman has been dealing with injury problems since the beginning of 2023, so the visitors will have to wait anxiously to see how the match will go with their leader Benzema.

Carlo Ancelotti said that he removed the seasoned striker as a precaution in the last minutes of their 1-0 triumph against Liverpool in the second leg of the Champions League last 16.

The leg injury Benzema sustained just before scoring the game-winning goal against Liverpool was not a huge issue, according to both Ancelotti and Benzema, and he is anticipated to be fit to fly to Catalonia.

Yet according to reports from Marca today, he worked out by himself in the gym after the team returned to Valdebebas.

Due to the significance of the game, Ancelotti will give Benzema until the very last to demonstrate his fitness, but he may be persuaded to take a chance on the 35-year-old.
