Recently arrived at Al-Hilal, Karim Benzema (38) is already facing a major setback. The French striker is injured, and his absence could last for some time.
In a dramatic transfer this winter, Karim Benzema changed clubs but remained in Saudi Arabia — a move that reportedly angered a certain Cristiano Ronaldo. However, KB9 will now have to be patient as he deals with this new obstacle.
Adductor Injury Slows Benzema’s Saudi Momentum
Suffering from an adductor injury, the French forward could miss several matches, abruptly slowing the start of his Saudi adventure. “Karim Benzema will not travel to Al-Qassim due to adductor pain. He will undergo a scan this Tuesday to assess the nature and severity of his injury,” the club announced ahead of their clash against Al-Taawoon.
The 2022 Ballon d’Or winner had made a spectacular first impression, scoring a hat-trick and delivering an assist against Al-Okhdood (6-0). It was a dazzling debut that suggested a rapid rise in form. But after two quieter performances against El-Ettifaq (2-0) and Al-Ittihad (1-1), this injury has disrupted his momentum. Al-Hilal now holds its breath as Benzema is forced to pause.
