Who said rest? Benzema hit the gym on his day off

Not many players as good as Karim Benzema miss out on international call-ups. Far from complaining, the Real Madrid striker is using the time off to get better.

The French striker uploaded an Instagram story from inside the gym at Real Madrid City with the caption "Let's go boys!".

Zidane wanted to give his squad some time off, but Benzema showed once again that he wants to keep getting better and better.

For now, Benzema is the only number 9 in the squad and needs to be at 100% to deliver on all the minutes he is playing this season.
