Real Madrid's Karim Benzema: Hip injury not serious

Benzema has been bothered by a hip injury of late, but he is expected to be fit for the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla on Aug. 9, ESPN FC reports.

Analysis:

Benzema's presence will be important for Los Blancos, as Cristiano Ronaldo could miss at least the first La Liga match of the season due to the knee injury he suffered during the European Championship final. Benzema remains an elite fantasy option, even in Ronaldo's shadow.
