Real Madrid's Karim Benzema: Misses UEFA Super Cup

Benzema (hip) has been ruled out for UEFA Super Cup clash versus Sevilla on Tuesday, ESPN FC reports.

Analysis:

Manager Zinedine Zidane has not included Benzema in the group for the match as the striker has just returned from the hip injury he suffered recently. Benzema, however, hasn't played in any of Real's pre-season matches and Zidane doesn't want to take any chances. He should be good to go for the season opener on Aug 21.
