WARTAKOTALIVE.COM, JAKARTA–Real Madrid will certainly not be strengthened by Karim Benzema when visiting the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi cage Girona, in the continuation of the LaLiga competition, Wednesday (26/4/2023) at 00.30 WIB.
Madrid need a win to cut the gap 11 points from Barcelona who are at the top of the standings.
According to Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, Karim Benzema will only be able to return to playing for El Real when he faces Almeria and Real Sociedad.
Ancelotti does not deny that Benzema’s presence is actually very important for Madrid, considering the quality of the 35-year-old player.
“Benzema will recover from injury and he will play against Almeria and Real Sociedad.

Benzema is very important for us. His condition can be managed as long as he is 100 per cent fit,” Ancelotti said as quoted from Real Madrid’s official website.
“He’s not young anymore but he’s shown a fantastic level in the last few games and we want to keep that.
When he’s tired, he won’t play. However, as long as he is fit, he will be on the pitch,” said the Italian coach.
Apart from Karim Benzema, Real Madrid will also be without Eduardo Camavinga who is still in the recovery process.
Carlo Ancelotti also reports that David Alaba and Ferland Mendy are also in the recovery process.
“Benzema and Camavinga will miss the match against Girona due to injury. Rodrygo hasn’t trained yet, but he is fit for tomorrow’s game.

“Girona play beautiful football and they are a very organized team with the ball.
Girona kept possession well. But we are also in good form,” said Ancelotti.
