Benzema is set to miss the crucial La Liga match against Real Sociedad this Saturday, which leaves Los Blancos without the services of both Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Madrid's striker was replaced at half time for Jese Rodriguez Ruiz during the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City last Tuesday due to a hip problem.
Furthermore, Real Madrid's medical staff has recently issued a statement regarding the player's status:
"Following tests carried out today on the player Karim Benzema at the Sanitas La Moraleja University Hospital, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in his left hamstring. His recovery will continue to be assessed."
Nonetheless, Los Blancos hope to clinch three important points against Real Sociedad without their star goalscorers Benzema and Ronaldo.
