Will Benzema play against his old club Lyon tonight?

Question

Karim Benzema plies his trade at Real Madrid now, who are tied with his old club Lyon in a Champion's League tie. Will Benzema be playing?

Answer 1

Benzema has slipped down the pecking order at Madrid, and is coming back from an injury, but he's certainly travelling to the French club, though whether he will start against his old team is up in the air. Whether he plays or not, Olympique Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is critical of the way Benzema has been treated since joining the Spanish giants. "He's a bit isolated in the galaxy of Madrid. He needs a more personal touch from the coach and with his teammates to gain confidence," said Aulas.
