Benzema shocks Al-Hilal... Do you know the story?

French striker Karim Benzema will miss Al-Hilal's match against Al-Taawoun on Tuesday, in the postponed tenth round of the Saudi Professional League, due to a muscle injury. The club explained in an official statement that Benzema will not travel with the team to Al-Qassim due to pain in his adductor muscle. He will undergo scans on Tuesday to determine the extent of the injury and his expected return date. Al-Hilal is preparing for this match, aiming to temporarily reclaim the top spot in the league before facing Al-Nassr on Wednesday, and to make up for draws in four of their last six league matches. Benzema scored a hat-trick in his debut for Al-Hilal against Al-Akhdoud, but failed to find the net in the following two matches against Al-Ettifaq and Al-Ittihad, making his swift return to the team for upcoming games even more crucial.
