“
I don't think he deserves this punishment.

“
Personally, I have always supported him.
The coach has the right to choose whoever he wants [..] Today Benzema is well regarded by all those who love football.
I haven't heard any reviews from him for quite a while.
The France group loves him so I don't see how he would be upset.
If he is in good shape, he will play in Qatar
