Benzema missed against Espanyol to return against Liverpool
2023-03-11 11:34Real Madrid coach Ancelotti said at a press conference that the player Benzema will miss the game against the Spaniard, but will return in the Champions League round of 16 against Liverpool.
The 35-year-old Benzema has been injured many times this season and only played 27 games, scoring 18 goals and sending 5 assists. Benzema was unable to attend the 25th round of La Liga against the Spaniard due to an injury during training earlier.
However, Ancelotti announced at the press conference that Benzema will return in the game against Liverpool, and gave a general overview of Benzema's current injury: "His ankle was hit and it is swollen now, so he will not be able to play tomorrow." Going to the game, he will train alone and be back next Wednesday against Liverpool."
"His absence will inevitably affect our performance, he is very important for us. Last season Benzema scored a lot," Ancelotti added.
Since the contract between Benzema and Real Madrid will expire after the end of this season, when a reporter asked whether Benzema would stay, Ancelotti expressed vaguely that he did not know.
Recently, Real Madrid's performance has also gradually declined. The last three games have all ended in a tie, and they have fallen behind the top Barcelona by 9 points in the La Liga rankings. Therefore, it was rumored that the chairman of Real Madrid might fire Ancelotti after the season.
Regarding this matter, Ancelotti said bluntly: "Whenever this kind of problem arises, I will be blamed. This is my job. There will be such rumors every year, and I will not listen to them." Ancelotti The metaphor is that these reproaches are like the soft sound of rain, and when he hears it, he will hold up his umbrella.
If Real Madrid can beat the Spaniard, the gap with Barcelona will be reduced to 6 points. However, if Barcelona wins the game against Athletic Bilbao again, it will return to the same 9-point gap.
