Karim Benzema forced off injured in Real Madrid in win over Valencia

Just when it seems he was beginning to find his feet back after a spread of fine form halted by injury at the start to the 2022-23 campaign, the problems returned for Benzema who was taken off an hour into Real Madrid's 2-0 win at home against Valencia.

The 2022 Ballon d'Or winner appeared to tweak something when unleashing a shot at Giorgi Mamardashvili's goal, bringing his night to a premature end after assisting both Marco Asensio and Vinicius Junior's goals. Benzema reached for the back of his leg and was then substituted off for Rodrygo. 

Since the full-time whistle, it has emerged via Sergio Quirante of DAZN that Benzema felt an issue in his right thigh, with a proper assessment of the injury expected tomorrow. However, head coach Carlo Ancelotti wasn't too concerned.
