Report: Karim Benzema to miss Atletico Madrid clash

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has reportedly been ruled out of the second leg of his team's Champions League quarter-final with Atletico Madrid.

The Frenchman did not feature for Madrid in their 3-1 victory over Malaga at the weekend due to a knee problem.

According to Goal.com, he failed to prove his fitness during a training session on Monday and will play no part in their European tie on Wednesday evening.

Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Luka Modric have all been ruled out of this week's match through injury.
