Benzema will have to miss around two weeks of games with this injury, meaning that right now he should be considered as doubtful for the Madrid Derby against Atletico de Madrid, which will be played on September 18th.
Without him, Rodrygo Goes and Eden Hazard will be expected to replace Benzema in the starting lineup. The French striker avoided a serious injury but he will have to miss a crucial match against Atletico, so Ancelotti will be hoping to see his reserves taking care of the job.
