L’Equipe says coach Didier Deschamps has placed the Madrid star in a rather awkward position during meals at the French training base.
The 33-year-old will be sat next to Chelsea star Giroud, as well as Antoine Griezmann, Leo Dubois, Raphael Varane, Lucas Hernandez, Benjamin Pavard and Hugo Lloris.

Benzema’s return has come as a huge boost for Deschamps, who already boasts a very strong squad. The 33-year-old’s inclusion makes the reigning world champions strong contenders to lift the trophy at Wembley on July 11.
