France forward, Karim Benzema, is said to be back in training after his injury recovery. And there are speculations that he may make a shocking return to the France World Cup squad ahead of their FIFA World Cup final match against Argentina on Sunday.

Benzema was earlier ruled out of the World Cup after he suffered a thigh injury at the training camp.

Vanguard in a report recalls after the injury, he immediately flew back to Madrid for his recovery, after which his name was dropped from the FIFA World Cup.

The 34-year-old suffered a muscle tear and was given a three-week recovery period. He left Doha thinking he would be replaced in the squad. Injuries forced him to miss the tournament alongside other team players, Paul Pogba, Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, N’Golo Kante, and Christopher Nkunku.

Benzema has 37 goals in 97 caps for France and was Les Bleus’ top scorer at the 2014 World Cup
