Karim Benzema's availability ahead of facing Villarreal remains in Doubt

The Frenchman picked up a knock against Valencia and may miss the first game after the international break.

As reported by AS, Real Madrid are unsure if Karim Benzema will be fit in time to face Villarreal after the international break.

The French striker did not travel during the break but he did pick up a knock in the loss to Valencia.

Tests have revealed that the injury isn't very serious and Benzema has also resumed training at Valdebebas.

However, Zinedine Zidane may opt against risking the 32-year-old - especially after Luka Jovic's heroics for the Serbian team.
