Zinedine Zidane confirms Karim Benzema return

By Matt Law, Football Editor | 09 September 2016

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane confirms that Karim Benzema will return from a hip problem against Osasuna this weekend.

Karim Benzema will return to the Real Madrid squad this weekend, head coach Zinedine Zidane has confirmed.

Benzema, who was not chosen to represent France at Euro 2016, has been struggling with a hip problem since the start of pre-season and has missed both of Real Madrid's La Liga matches at the start of the new campaign.

Zidane has revealed that the centre-forward will be available for Saturday's league match with Osasuna, although it is unlikely that the 28-year-old will be in the starting XI.

"Karim will be with us tomorrow. He is recovered. But we will have to see what is the starting lineup tomorrow. He is over the problem. So he is in the squad. He can play some minutes, but we must see how we will start the game," Zidane told reporters.

Cristiano Ronaldo is also expected to return from a knee problem to feature against Osasuna.
