France coach Didier Deschamps has opened the door for a potential return to the national team for Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, saying the striker could be recalled if it is in the best interests of the squad.
Benzema has not represented Les Bleus since October 2015 and was left out of the squad that reached the final of Euro 2016 after his alleged involvement in a blackmail attempt against international team-mate Mathieu Valbuena, per the Guardian.
However, Deschamps has now confirmed the 28-year-old is not out of the reckoning for good, per beIN Sports (via Goal's Stefan Coerts):
There is no Benzema case for me.
