Benzema’s agent, Karim Djaziri has expressed his displeasure over Didier Deschamps decision to disengage his client from the World Cup competition.
Djaziri claimed that Karim Benzema would have been fit for the knockout stages.
He stated that the French coach was impatient with the striker and asked him to go home so quickly without a second thought.
“I consulted three specialists who confirmed the diagnosis that Benzema could have been fit from the last 16 to at least be on the bench. Why did you ask him to leave so quickly?”
Benzema picked up an injury in training a few days before France’s first match in Qatar. According to the agent, the injury was not severe enough for him to miss the entire tournament.
France performed incredibly well without the Real Madrid striker. Kylian Mbappe instantly became the star of the team.
They were unbeaten all through the competition until the final where they lost to Argentina on penalties.
Karim Benzema won his first Ballon d’or this year for his role in catapulting Real Madrid to another Champions League glory.
The 35-year-old has shown readiness to play again after he missed out on the World cup.
