The al-itthad club announced the departure of France’s Karim Benzema to Spain, specifically the capital Madrid, to present his injury to the specialist doctor in Real Madrid.
In its statement issued on Wednesday, the club revealed an agreement between the medical staff of the Etihad Club and the medical service in Real Madrid through which it was decided to present Karim Benzema for his leg muscle injury to the specialist doctor in Real Madrid.
Benzema will carry out further tests in Madrid, with a return to the Kingdom next week.

Benzema will be with the doctor he previously supervised while in Real Madrid, where he will follow up on his injury, and the treatment method and duration will be determined.
It is quite obvious that Karim Benzema’s level with the Saudi al-itthad has declined compared to his final season with Real Madrid; The 2022-23 season saw the French striker score 31 goals for the Spanish giants, earning his best single-season credit with the Royal Club.
In the first 21 Saudi League matches with the Jeddah Federation this season, the striker was clearly reduced to 9 goals for 17 in the same number of games in La Liga last season. The strength of the competition between the Saudi League and LaLiga must be taken into account.
