Real Madrid's Karim Benzema: To play second half of Madrid derby

Benzema will only play the second half the Madrid derby after recovering from a leg injury, Marca reports.

Analysis:

Benzema was declared fit enough to take part in the match earlier this week, but manager Zinedine Zidane will ease him back into action after missing three weeks. He could still have a say on the outcome of the match, but Benzema's fantasy prospects receive a downgrade in light of this news.
