During the friendly match between France and Bulgaria that took place yesterday, the hosts received not only a joyful result on the scoreboard (3:0). Didier Deschamps' team lost forward Karim Benzema, who had to leave the field after colliding with Bulgarian player Ivan Turitsov. However, the injury is not serious. "It's just a bruise. Karim suffered a strong blow to the muscle above the knee and could hardly continue the match. We decided not to take any risks. At the moment, he is under the care of the medical team," said coach D. Dechamps after the match. Karim Benzema returned to the French national team after a four-year break.
