JOHANNESBURG – Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is patiently awaiting his return to the French national squad.
The 28-year-old was suspended in December last year pending a probe into an alleged plot to blackmail French teammate Mathieu Valbuena.
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said Benzema’s eagerness to return is evident.
“I clearly see that Karim Benzema wants to be on the French national team again and he does everything, well, all his trainings, all his performances that he does, it is to be part of the French national team again, this is his wish. But I'm not the French national team coach and I respect the coach's choice for now,” Zidane said.
“But it doesn't mean that Karim will never be on the French national team again, so he must continue to work. Because he wants to be back on the French national team but above all, to do great performances for the Real and I'm more interested by that,” he said.
