World Cup 2022: France To Play Without Ballon d'Or Winner Be

Karim Benzema

Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema has been forced to leave France's training session because of an injury on Saturday -- three days before the defending champions' World Cup opener.

The Ballon d'Or winner, who has been struggling with a muscle problem, and central defender Raphael Varane, who is recovering from a knee issue, trained with the squad on Saturday for the first time since they arrived in Qatar.

Benzema did not last the full session after sustaining an injury, the nature and severity of which are not yet known.

France, already without influential midfielders Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante for the tournament because of injury, open their campaign against Australia in a group D match on Tuesday.
