Karim Benzema has been left out of France's World Cup squad. The French striker has also been stripped of the captain's armband.

Benzema's Al-Ittihad side lost 2-1 to Al-Okhdoud in Jeddah on Friday. Talal Haji, a 16-year-old, scored for the first time with the club in the 83rd minute to capsize everyone at the King Abdullah Sports City stadium in the hot Saudi night.
