Benzema out of Champions League clash at Juventus
Print Edition
REAL Madrid forward Karim Benzema has not recovered sufficiently from a knee injury and has been left out of the squad for today’s Champions League semifinal first leg at Juventus, the holder said yesterday.
The France international sustained the injury in last month’s quarter-final first leg at Atletico Madrid and although he only returned to training on Sunday, coach Carlo Ancelotti had hoped he would be fit. Mexico forward Javier Hernandez could start upfront in Turin alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, who returned from a calf problem as a second-half substitute in Saturday’s 3-2 La Liga win at Sevilla. Real is seeking a record-extending 11th European crown, while Italian champion Juventus is chasing its third.
