Karim Benzema I shared a photo with a detail that has not gone unnoticed. It shows the state of the I surrender to my friend of his right hand, which presents a remarkable torque.
Karim’s finger story is not new. He injured it in the league match against Betis at Villamarn in January 2019. The advice was to undergo surgery, but the player preferred not to do so, as this forced him to spend a few weeks away from the pitch, at a time of greatest need by the team. It was the first season post-Zidane and the results with Lopetegui first and then with Solarthey were very far from what was expected in the white club.
But time has passed, and Karim still hasn’t had surgery on his little finger, which he protects with a bulky bandage before matches. Interestingly, since he wears it his performance has notably increased, which introduces an element of superstition into the equation.
But the truth is that Benzema has not found material time to spend surgery, because that will force him to be out for a while, and the player always prioritizes his commitment to the Madrid. To further complicate matters, Karim has returned with the selection of France after several years of exile, which leaves even less free time to face the recovery of a possible operation.
So the image of Karim with the bandage will continue to be the usual one, at least for the remainder of the season. The truth is that the injury, although spectacular, does not affect his sports performance, nor does it affect his daily life.
