Karim Benzema, who has played 9 matches and scored one goal in La Liga, will be absent for the match against Borussia Dortmund at the Bernabeu stadium in Spain. This fixture is part of the 4th day of the UEFA Champions League. The French striker, who has been spared in several training sessions, will ultimately be unavailable due to muscle pain.
However, his compatriot Raphael Varane is set to start against the German club. In the previous encounter two weeks ago on Borussia Dortmund’s pitch, Jose Mourinho’s team suffered a defeat (2-1). Real Madrid aims to secure a victory at home in this crucial Champions League fixture.
