Real Madrid boss Zidane explains Karim Benzema injury

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane admits Karim Benzema is battling with a hip injury.

The Frenchman won't face Chelsea on Saturday.

"He won't feature tomorrow. When a player has got an injury, it's always a concern.

"It's hip-related and it's something that continues to bother him. We're working on it and every day he's in with the physios.

"We hope that he can play a part in the third game because it's important that he plays before the Super Cup," said Zidane.
