JAKARTA Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti hopes that his striker Karim Benzema will not suffer a serious injury.
The Frenchman played only 30 minutes when Los Blancos won 3-0 over Celtic Glasgow in the 2020/2023 European Champions League group stage at Celtic Park, Wednesday, September 7 in the morning WIB.
"It seems nothing to worry but we have to wait until tomorrow," Ancelotti said after the game, reported by Football Espana.
Ancelotti pulled Benzema out and included Eden Hazard. The Belgian then successfully helped El Real win by contributing one goal.
Benzema's injury so far has not been confirmed how severe it is. The results of the medical test this afternoon local time will confirm the progress of the 34-year-old striker.
"The first evaluation doesn't seem serious. We don't know if it's a knee or muscle problem," said the coach who brought Real Madrid to win the Champions League last season.
If Benzema gets seriously injured it will have a big influence on Real Madrid's performances in the next few matches. The reason is, he is the most important player in the squad today.
Victory over the Celtic saw Madrid top the Group F standings. They will next face Real Mallorca in La Liga this weekend, followed by a schedule against Leipzig in the middle of next week.
