French star Karim Benzema, striker for Al-Ittihad Club, is preparing to return to group training starting today, Wednesday, in anticipation of the awaited match against Al-Raed in the Roshan Saudi League.

According to sports reports, Benzema only trained in the gym yesterday, Tuesday, as part of a special recovery program after feeling fatigued in the past period, indicating an improvement in his physical condition.

The veteran striker had to leave his team's recent match against Al-Faihah due to fatigue, prompting the coaching staff to spare him from full participation for his safety.

Benzema's return to group training today is an important step towards preparing him ideally for participation in the match against Al-Raed, which represents a crucial point in the league's final rounds for the team.

The coaching staff at Al-Ittihad places utmost importance on Benzema's readiness due to his significant role in the attack, especially in decisive matches that require the experience and calmness of the French striker.
