JAKARTA - France's national team coach, Didier Deschamps, has ruled out the possibility of Karim Benzema being able to re-strengthen his team at Qatar's 2022 World Cup. In fact, the Real Madrid player has started to recover from injury.

The 34-year-old was originally part of the French squad for the World Cup in Qatar. However, a thigh injury left him having to leave thesaman Team ahead of the tournament.

Now in the latest report, Benzema is said to have started to recover so there is a possibility that he can rejoin other players in Qatar. He is even said to have the opportunity to appear in the final group stage match against Tunisia.

However, US journalist Diario Andres Onrubia in a recent tweet on Twitter, confirmed that Deschamps had denied the information.

"It [ Benzema's return] is not something I think about right now. I spoke to Benzema after he left the training camp. I leave it to you if you want to argue about it," Deschamps said.

Benzema is currently on vacation in the Reunion Islands. He will spend the holidays there for the next few days before returning to Madrid to join the team's training to welcome the start of the second half of the season.

If not injured, Benzema can close 2022 by appearing in the World Cup. The opportunity to become a champion is still open because France has confirmed itself to qualify for the round of 16 of the most prestigious competition.

The reigning World Cup champion has collected a total of six points from two matches in the group stage. They started the campaign in Qatar by beating Australia in the first match by overthrowing Denmark in the second match of the group.
