The Frenchman Karim Benzema, captain of Al-Ittihad Club, has significantly regained his physical readiness following a period of treatment and rehabilitation he underwent in his country to recover from his recent injury.

The veteran star continues his individual training under the supervision of the medical staff, preparing for his full integration with his teammates in collective training in the coming days.

Benzema had suffered a hamstring injury during Al-Ittihad's preparations to face Al-Fateh in the Roshan League, which kept him from participating with the team for a considerable period.

The French player underwent a precise treatment and rehabilitation program, during which he focused on accelerating his return, with special monitoring from the club's medical staff to ensure his complete recovery.

It is expected that Benzema will make his first appearance after his absence in the match against Al-Wehda in the King’s Cup, provided he receives the green light from the technical and medical staff.

Al-Ittihad fans are counting on Benzema's experience and leadership on the field, especially in crucial matches, as he is considered one of the team's key assets since his joining.
