Since 2015, Karim Benzema, who is not playing for the French national team, is still awaited in the national team.
K. Benzema was removed from the national team due to a scandal involving Mathieu Valbuena, but his guilt as a striker for Madrid's "Real" has not been proven in court.
Leading the national team, Didier Deschamps has not changed his opinion after the court decision and has not called the Frenchman to the national team for four years.
K. Benzema himself has previously mentioned that he would not hesitate for a minute if there was a possibility to return to the French national team.
Recently, Zinedine Zidane also expressed his opinion on this matter, but D. Deschamps responded very concisely: "Zidane has the right to speak so, because he is his (Benzema's) coach."
Z. Zidane is also inclined to agree with the French football fans themselves. For example, in a recent poll by "L'Equipe," 73% of all respondents answered that they would like to see K. Benzema in the national team.
The football player is currently experiencing the peak of his career - last season he scored 30 goals, and this season he has already scored 11 goals in 15 matches.
L'Equipe's poll: Is Benzema has been the best French striker since the beginning of the season?
73% YES
24% No
3% Undecided
