Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has welcomed the club's injury diagnosis.

Forced off during the Champions League win at Celtic, there were concerns Benzema had suffered a serious knee injury.

Scans have shown it is only a strain, which will see Benzema miss a month of action. The France striker will be fit for the final month of the first-half of this season before the World Cup.

Benzema posted to social media after learning of the scan result: "I will not complain, my response will be strong."
