According to Diario AS, the France international suffers from a sore hip, which has prevented the 28-year-old from featuring in any of his club's pre-season games thus far.
If Benzema skips the match against the Red and Whites that means Los Blancos will be without two of their key players, as Cristiano Ronaldo will also not be fit in time to participate after his injury in the Euro 2016 final.
The Spanish giants will take on Bundesliga's Bayern Munich on Wednesday, and boss Zinedine Zidane will be hoping the Real Madrid man can at least train with the team.
