"We will see. If he trains yes," was all he would say.

The two Madrid sides will face each other on Sunday, September 18. Real have yet to drop points this season and will be looking to continue that impressive form against their City rivals.

Diego Simeone's charges would love nothing more than to be the side that hands Real their first defeat of the season.

Benzema has been in scintillating form for Madrid this season. As noted by Transfermarkt, Benzema has played six games in all competitions for Los Blancos this season, scoring four goals in the process.

The French forward has been ever reliable for the side for the past few seasons, so much so that Madrid opted not to sign a backup striker during the recent transfer window.
