After Benzema’s hamstring injury, Real Madrid had to go through problems up front as they were playing without a striker; however, the Frenchman is now back in training for Los Blancos.
Jose Mourinho has finally heard some good news in terms of injury, as the French striker, Karim Benzema, was back in training on Wednesday.
The Frenchman pulled his hamstring 10 days ago and since then he has been sidelined by Jose Mourinho.
However, what added more to Real Madrid’s injury woes was the fact that Gonzalo Higuain also picked up an injury and was substituted while playing against the German champions, Borussia Dortmund.
Dortmund were able to draw the game 2-2 against Real Madrid during the UEFA Champions League group stages, and the absence of a striker was felt throughout the game.
However, Karim Benzema is now back in training for Los Blancos and he might feature in their game against Bilbao over the weekend, especially with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-c9622 Ronaldo’s appearance being in doubt.
The Portuguese skipper was elbowed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Navarro-c10564 last weekend during the game against Levante and his left eye was badly injured as the former United star received treatment on the sidelines and had to get stitches.
After that, the Portuguese captain’s situation has not been highlighted by any source, but he was unable to report on international duty as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gabon-c2902.
Gonzalo Higuain is also not fully fit to play for Real Madrid at the moment and Jose Mourinho will have to risk http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 as Los Blancos prepare to take on Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The upcoming game is going to be tough for Los Blancos, and it can get tougher if they are to play without their first-choice left-winger, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629.
However, Mourinho is definitely the sort of manager who can easily cope in the absence of his star player and Jose Callejon or Mesut Ozil can be the players who can feature on the wings while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 is out injured.
Moreover, Angel Di Maria, Kaka and Mesut Ozil can also feature in the Real Madrid attacking midfield.
Real Madrid will try their best to win the weekend fixture against Bilbao as they are still trailing behind their arch-rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, in the Spanish La Liga.
