Karim Benzema, the French forward who plays for Real Madrid and has been linked with a move to Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, is currently out injured.

Benzema suffered a hamstring injury during training last week and was ruled out of the game against Getafe on Saturday. He underwent surgery to repair his hamstring tear and is expected to be out for at least three months.

The injury means that Benzema will miss Al Nassr's upcoming matches against Al Hilal and Al-Hilal, as well as their home match against Al-Nassr. The club have already lost two key players to injury, with striker Haim Ahmed Ali and midfielder Samir Nasser both out with injuries.

However, Al Nassr manager David Wagner has indicated that they will continue to look for ways to cope without Benzema, with the likes of Youssef Dahab and Khaled Matar among those likely to step up to fill the void left by the star player.
