Since joining the Saudi club Al-Ittihad, Karim Benzema has been regularly absent. Supporters are starting to wonder.

His last appearance dates back to September 14, during the victory of his Al-Ittihad team on the pitch of Al Akhdoud (0-1, 6th day of the Saudi Pro League). Since then, Karim Benzema has been absent. The fault lies with an injury whose nature still remains mysterious. Some Saudi fans are starting to get impatient.

It was the day before the AFC Champions League match against the Uzbek club OKMK that Karim Benzema was injured. However, his club did not say much about the situation, while the Frenchman appeared the day before the match without saying more about his condition. And after A.S.it is this mysterious aspect that annoys fans.

A long wait

On Friday, the Spanish media relayed this slight tension growing among Al-Ittihad followers. “ Why are you injured every game? We need you“, for example wrote this user of X (ex-Twitter). The Iberian site also added that many identical reactions regularly poured in on the various publications posted by “KB9” on its social networks.

In the meantime, we must recognize that Karim Benzema scored in three of the six matches in which he took part with his team, without forgetting his two assists. An interesting ratio whose supporters would like to see the evolution, which they hope will be positive for the future. It should not be right away because he will probably not be present for the meeting scheduled for this Friday against Al Feiha.
