France are close to playing their second consecutive FIFA World Cup final. For the semifinals of Qatar 2022 against Morocco, one of the biggest absences in the squad is Karim Benzema, but why is the striker not playing vs. the Africans?
The last three games of Qatar 2022 are here with the second semifinal, the game for the third place and the final. France and Morocco will decide which team will face Argentina for the FIFA World Cup title.
Les Bleus have a great squad full of stars and players that are part of soccer's elite group nowadays. Karim Benzema is one of those as the current Ballon d'Or is Real Madrid's biggest figure and a top striker for France.
Why is Karim Benzema not playing for France vs. Morocco?
France are close to play another FIFA World Cup final after they conquered Russia 2018 and got the title. They have had a very good tournament, but they must not be too confident against a strong team like it is Morocco.
For this game, Karim Benzema won't be playing for France. Prior Qatar 2022, the striker had a "muscle fatigue" which kept him away for several games with Real Madrid.
When he was called for the FIFA World Cup, he got a "quadriceps injury in the left thigh" that has kept him away from the whole tournament. L'Equipe revealed that they were planning to reincorporate him for the knockout stage, but he couldn't recover and won't play for the rest of the comeptition.
