• Karim Benzema has shared a video of himself in the gym alongside his son ahead of the World Cup final
• It still remains unknown if the 34-year-old will be at Didider Deschamps' disposal when they play Argentina
• Benzema withdrew from the France squad after picking up a thigh injury days before the World Cup

Karim Benzema has left his fans guessing whether or not he will be available for the World Cup final when France takes on Argentina.

Benzema was part of Didier Deschamps's 26-man squad to Qatar but pulled out due to a thigh injury. He has since made a full recovery and returned to full training at Real Madrid.

The reigning Ballon d'Or winner is still eligible to rejoin France's squad as he was never replaced from the squad. Goal reports that Deschamps recently declined to comment on whether the striker will be available for the final.

Will Benzema be available for World Cup final?

Benzema's natural replacement Oliver Giroud has stepped up in his absence despite his struggles against Morocco. Benzema's return to the squad could provide Deschamps with options as he seeks to lead France to back-to-back World titles.

The Real Madrid captain took to his social media accounts and shared a video of him hitting the gym alongside his son. He captioned the video 'motivation.'

Fans in the comment section were quick to ask him if he'd be available for the Sunday Lusail showdown but like his national manager, he is playing his cards close to his chest.
