Benzema's complicated preseason
Benzema has had a difficult preseason. He suffered an injury after the match against Manchester City and did not play against Inter Milan. He seemed to recover and did have some minutes against Milan. But this injury has prevented him from playing in the Audi Cup and will probably also prevent him from facing Valerenga next Sunday.
