Real Madrid Benzema set to undergo a surgery

Real Madrid confirmed their striker Karim Benzema is set to go under knife to drain fluid from his right knee.

The 25-year-old France international has made 30 appearances for La Liga giants this season, scoring 11 goals. He believes that he will be fully fit ahead of the pre-season training next month.

Benzema said: “It is a cyst that has been bothering me and it is almost not even an operation. I will be in perfect condition when the pre-season starts, we don’t have to worry about this topic.”
