Real Madrid’s French center forward Karim Benzema has been ruled out of the Clasico (2:00 pm on Sunday) against Barcelona with a left leg injury.
Ancelotti has also confirmed that he will not join the French national team next week to play in two friendly matches next week against Ivory Coast (March 25 in Marseille) and South Africa (March 29 in Lille), even if Benzemao or Berland Mendo are injured.
In Real Madrid’s last league match, two French players were injured in a win (3-0) against Mallorca last Monday.
Benzema’s loss was a blow to Ancelotti, who lost to the league’s leading scorer with 22 goals, far from 14 in the second, his teammate Vinicius.

However, facing the battle for the league title, the situation is worrisome as Real Madrid are second, 10 points ahead of Sevilla and 15 points ahead of Barcelona and Atletico de Madrid, third and fourth before this weekend.
