JAKARTA - Karim Benzema's agent, Karim Djaziri, ignited the fire into his client's controversial and premature farewell by posting a video proving that Benzema was not seriously injured.

There were many rumors, comments and reports of how Benzema was sent home from the French camp before the World Cup began, after suffering an injury during training.

Now, Djaziri wants to straighten out his client's minor injury.

The Real Madrid striker's representative used Twitter to confirm Benzema's injury period and posted video evidence.

"I consulted with three specialists who confirmed the diagnosis that Benzema could be fit since the last 16 onwards, at least enough to be on the bench," Djaziri started the message.

"Why did you ask him to leave so quickly?"

Djaziri voiced what many people have asked about the decision to repatriate Real Madrid's number 9 player may be a little in a hurry.

The injury was not serious and he could remain part of the group and play his part in the knockout system.

MARCA revealed on December 13 that Benzema could have played in the World Cup, despite being injured at the training ground.

The recovery time is three weeks from November 19, but Didier Deschamps decided not to wear his services even though he didn't replace him with any other players.

When France faced Poland on December 4, Benzema fully recovered and went on vacation.

Another strange and controversial situation to add to Benzema's story with France. After France lost to Argentina in the 2022 World Cup final, the player announced his withdrawal from the French national team.
