Benzema is missing: Saudi Arabia reports the unknown whereabouts of the French player | What happened to Karim Benzema | Al-Ittihad | VIDEO | SPORT-TOTAL

Karim Benzema was greeted in Saudi Arabia with fanfare and drums. The French player arrived at Al Ittihad after a successful career at Real Madrid and with the Ballon d’Or in his office. At first everything was rosy: great game, goals and assists. But it’s over.

Following the 5-2 defeat to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nasr, in which ‘The Cat’ missed a penalty, criticism was immediate. To such an extent that Benzema was forced to close his Instagram account due to the countless messages that were circulated.

Three defeats in a row and last place are unacceptable for fans of the last Saudi League champion. And the situation does not seem to be improving, according to Arab media, the striker would not have attended training on Thursday and Friday, and his whereabouts are unknown.

The Black and Yellows’ match against Al-Tai was postponed due to the visiting team’s flight being delayed due to weather conditions. It will now be played on January 7th.

According to Marca newspaper, Karim Benzema left Jeddah, but with the permission of the club due to injury. Even his location is hidden. With twelve goals and five assists in twenty games, the Frenchman stands out as Al Ittihad’s best player, but fans expect more from him.
