Al Ittihad striker, Karim Benzema, has returned to Real Madrid’s training ground.
Benzema has travelled there to undergo further tests and treatment on his latest injury.
This was confirmed by football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, on Wednesday night, May 2, 2024.
Romano wrote on X: “Karim Benzema has returned to Real Madrid training ground Valdebebas to undergo further tests and get help with injury treatment.
“Al Ittihad confirm they’re grateful to Real Madrid for their help in managing Benzema’s injury.”
Benzema only left Real to join Al Ittihad last summer as a free agent.
The Saudi Arabian club is expecting the Frenchman to be fit for their final five matches of the season.
In any event, returning to Madrid briefly will allow him to link up with former teammates and his ex-manager Carlo Ancelotti, who didn't want Benzema to leave the club almost a year ago to the day on June 5.
Benzema's departure left Madrid without a number 9 for the first time in its rich history.
In his absence, attacking midfielder Jude Bellingham was made into a false number '9' by Ancelotti and led Spain's Pichichi rankings for La Liga's top scorer for most of the ongoing 2023/2024 campaign.
