Has the honeymoon between Karim Benzema and Saudi Arabia already ended? The French striker, who had packed his bags in 2023 at Ittihad to join the growing local championship, was not part of the group which was to face Al-Taï this Saturday (4 p.m.). The match was postponed due to bad weather conditions. Worse, the former Real Madrid striker would even have simply left the territory and no explanation was given for his absence.
However, the indicators are worrying. The Saudi media Al-Riyadiya claims that the ex-international did not participate in training sessions on Thursday and Friday. Marcelo Gallardo, the coach, had therefore not included him in the list of players selected. Benzema also closed his Instagram account which has 76 million subscribers.

“He may be in disagreement with the club (...) but that does not excuse him because he makes no effort,” said Al-Riyadiya quoted by the website of the daily As. “He wastes opportunities very easy and seems to have lost the desire to play football,” added Saudi sports journalist Abdel Karim Al Jasser on the public channel Al-Ekhbariya.
Benzema has, however, posted honorable statistics this season in Saudi Arabia with 9 goals and 5 assists in fifteen games but like his club, only sixth in the championship with three defeats in a row, the striker is going through a bad patch. The Frenchman occupies 7th place in the scorers' ranking, far behind Cristiano Ronaldo (19 goals).
