The in-form Real Madrid’s striker is still not fit enough to take part in a full training session with el clasico just three days away, according to Diario AS.
Football espana reported that Karim Benzema spent Thursday’s training session exercising in the gym, as the rest of the Real Madrid squad prepared for the Sunday night showdown with Barcelona. The only other exception was Ferland Mendy, who joined Benzema in the gym.
Benzema has for long led the attack at the Santiago Bernabeu this season, scoring 22 goals and 11 assists.
The striker sustained an injury during their 3-0 victory over Mallorca. Though the details of the injury has not been made public but the player has not been ruled out of sunday’s classico.
