French footballer Karim Benzema, who transferred to the Saudi Arabian team Al Ittihad after leaving Real Madrid at the beginning of the season, has caused a crisis within the club. The Saudi club is unable to reach Benzema.
The 36-year-old star disappeared just hours before a league match and has also missed the last two training sessions.
BENZEMA IS MISSING
French striker Karim Benzema, who transferred from Real Madrid to the Saudi Arabian team Al-Ittihad during the last summer transfer window, has left the country.
According to Al-Riyadiya, Benzema has left Jeddah, but the reasons for his mid-season trip are unknown. His coach, Marcelo Gallardo, did not wish to comment on the situation. Benzema's attitude has not been well-received by the club's fans or the local media.
Al-Ittihad, which recorded six wins and one loss in the first seven weeks of the Saudi Pro League, has managed only two victories in the subsequent 11 matches.
