Why Karim Benzema has returned to Real Madrid from Saudi Arabia
Karim Benzema has returned to Real Madrid from his club Al Ittihad in order to continue his rehabilitation from injury.
The Frenchman has missed the Saudi Arabian club’s last two matches, having last appeared on April 20th during the 3-2 win against Al Hazm.
The forward joined the Jeddah-based club from Real Madrid in 2023, having won the Ballon d’Or the previous year.
But the 36-year-old has struggled in the middle easy, scoring 13 goals across 29 matches this term.
