Karim Benzema Reportedly out 4-6 Weeks with Hamstring Injury

Karim Benzema will miss Real Madrid's upcoming fixture schedule after it was confirmed a hamstring injury suffered against Levante on Saturday will sideline him for four to six weeks.

Spanish daily AS reported on Saturday that Benzema will be out of action for more than a month after having to withdraw from Saturday's 1-1 draw after only 24 minutes.

Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane will be forced to alter his lineup while his frontman recovers. He'll be missing a key piece of the attacking puzzle that helped guide the club to last season's UEFA Champions League title.
