Benzema is back

Real Madrid's star striker makes his return from injury

Real Madrid's Karim Benzema has made his return from injury, playing 30 minutes in a friendly against Leganes on Tuesday. The Frenchman had been out since early September with a thigh problem.

Benzema's return is a boost for Real Madrid

Benzema's return is a major boost for Real Madrid, who have been struggling for goals in his absence. The 34-year-old is the club's all-time leading scorer and is still one of the best strikers in the world.

With Benzema back in the team, Real Madrid will be hoping to improve their form and challenge for the La Liga title. They are currently second in the table, five points behind leaders Barcelona.

Benzema could make his competitive return against Elche

Benzema could make his competitive return for Real Madrid against Elche on Sunday. The match will be the first of a busy period for Real Madrid, who also face Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League next week.

If Benzema can stay fit, he will be a key player for Real Madrid in the coming months. The club will be hoping that he can help them to win their first La Liga title since 2020.
