Benzema forced off in Real Madrd win against Mallorca

Real Madrid's victory over Real Mallorca on Monday came at a cost.

Real won 3-0, though suffered several injuries.

First Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo were forced off, and then Karim Benzema, the undoubted star of the team, had to go too.

In the 85th minute he started to limp and show signs of pain, seemingly without having clashed with an opponent. Early suggestions are that it could be a calf issue.

Benzema is key to Los Blancos and could be a doubt now for the El Clasico against Barcelona on Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu.
