"France don't need Benzema any more"

Almost six years have gone by since the last time that Karim Benzema was called up by the France national team. In this time, the French haven't missed the Madrid player.

With a World Cup in between and one more star, the president of the French FA was honest to say that Deschamps' team doesn't need Benzema.

Nöel Le Graët, in an interview on ''FranceInfo', made clear that he no longer sees the French striker with Les Bleus.

"Les Bleus don't need Benzema any more. He is a player who continues to excite and when I see him play I really enjoy it", Nöel Le Graët said.

On the other hand, Nöel Le Graët already affirmed that he will also not play at the Olympics: "We were world champions and he didn't play".
