Karim Benzema will return to the Real Madrid squad in time for next week’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Juventus.

Benzema has been sidelined for the past two weeks after suffering a knee injury during the Champions League quarter-final clash against Atletico Madrid on 14 April.

According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the 27-year-old striker will return to Madrid tomorrow following successful treatment in Lyon and join his teammates ahead of the trip to Turin.

On-loan Manchester United forward Javier Hernandez has been in impressive form for the current European champions in the absence of Benzema, but he is set to return to the bench to accommodate the France international.

The former Lyon attacker has scored 22 goals during 36 appearances for Los Blancos this season, including six goals in eight Champions League fixtures.
