The French star Karim Benzema sparked a wide wave of controversy among Al-Hilal fans following mixed developments related to his health condition and his activities off the field.

Al-Hilal officially announced that the player sustained a lower back injury, confirming that he is undergoing a treatment program at the medical clinic, which explains his absence from recent matches.

However, this clarification did not end the controversy, especially after Benzema appeared on his account on the "X" platform with a picture in a calm natural setting near elephants.

The player attached the photo with a brief caption saying, "This is real," which raised widespread questions among fans about his actual physical condition.

This discrepancy between the official statement and the player's personal activity has opened the door for discussion about his readiness and the extent of his condition's impact on the team at this current stage.

Some have raised questions about the mental aspects of the French star, given the sensitive timing that Al Hilal is experiencing during the final stages of the season.

Benzema's situation remains under observation, awaiting a full clarification regarding his anticipated participation with the team.
