Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema won’t be part of the squad for the Champions League to face Atalanta on Wednesday night due to injury.
The Frenchman injured his adductor muscle during the 2-1 win over Valencia on February 14 and subsequently missed the club’s 1-0 triumph at Real Valladolid.
An earlier report from AS said that the striker could miss the Atalanta clash in midweek despite the injury being on a minor one.
It is now revealed by Deportes Cuatro that the 33-year-old won’t be travelling to Bergamo for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie.
