There were a number of reports claiming that Benzema could make a surprise return for the World Cup final against Argentina on Sunday.
France Star Sends Warning To Messi Ahead Of World Cup Final
It's being reported that Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante will be in attendance on Sunday evening, but French publication Le Parisien claim Benzema has turned down the invitation from France President Emmanuel Macron to attend the game in Doha.
Benzema also seemingly responded to the invitation on a social media post on Friday with the captain titled "I am not interested."
Meanwhile, France manager Didier Deschamps was not too pleased about being questioned about Benzema ahead of the final.
"Are you spreading the word among foreign journalists? If I don't answer, you'll say I'm p*ssed off. I have players who have been injured before. Karim is one of them," Deschamps said, as per Goal.
"The last to be injured is is Lucas Hernandez. Since then, I have 24 players to manage and you know them. To ask the question vis-a-vis these players, if I may say so, is at least clumsy, if not a little more.
"The group is there. I don't take care of the invitations of players, former players or injured players. I don't know who will be there."
