If the news is confirmed, this would be a major blow to Real Madrid fans who had high hopes in the striking partnership of Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema to carry the day when they meet their bitter rivals FC Barcelona this weekend. Benzema is said to have injured himself at training but Los Blancos are yet to release an official statement concerning his fitness level. The Frenchman has scored eight goals for Real Madrid in all competitions this season.
Here are some reactions on Twitter regarding his latest injury. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
