Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has not been named in Real Madrid’s squad to play Juventus on Tuesday after failing to recover from injury.
Benzema resumed full training on Sunday after battling back from a medial ligament sprain which caused him to miss Liga games against Celta Vigo, Almeria and Sevilla as well as the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final win over Atletico Madrid.
The France international sustained the injury in the first leg of the European clash against rivals Atleti.
While he responded to an individual training plan and trained with team-mates on Sunday, Benzema was not named in the 20-man squad that travelled to Turin for the meeting with newly-crowned Italian champions Juventus.
