Karim Benzema was not in training last week and did not play at the weekend.
Has he sacrificed himself in Real Madrid’s defence of the Champions League?
The striker tussled with Virgil van Dijk shortly before the ball fell to him to tap in the 78th minute opener, giving Real Madrid a 6-2 lead on aggregate and ending any Liverpool hopes of a dramatic comeback.
But he was in serious pain as he went to celebrate.
After the game kicked off again he made his way to the sideline and was swiftly replaced by Rodrygo.
There’s a Clásico on Sunday, when Real Madrid visit Barcelona. The last thing they need is to be without their talismanic striker.
