Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema insists he's happy playing for France.

Benzema faces almost a month out due to picking up an injury while with Les Bleus.

"It's normal to be criticised when a lot is expected of you.

"What bothers me is when people question my attitude by saying that I don't want to play for France. I'm a big boy now and if I didn't want to be called up, I'd talk to the coach and say as much straight up. That's not the case, though; it's a pleasure for me to play for France," Benzema told Téléfoot.
