Out on injury on Sunday evening during Real’s draw against Elche (2-2), Karim Benzema will be back for the match against PSG. According to the newspaper The Team, the French striker who was hit in the left thigh during the match would only suffer from a contracture, according to the first medical examinations. The duration of the unavailability of the tricolor center forward is not yet established with certainty, but the Madrid medical staff believe that Benzema will be back for the quarter-final of the Copa del Rey against Bilbao on February 3.
The 34-year-old striker, who has scored 24 goals and delivered 9 assists in just 28 games with Real this season, will therefore be present to face PSG. Madrid will travel to the Parc des Princes on February 15 for the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. A meeting that will be “special” for the Frenchman.
