Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema seemingly emerges as a fitness doubt ahead of Sunday's El Clasico fixture with Barcelona.
The Frenchman netted a double as Los Blancos defeated Mallorca by a 3-0 scoreline on Monday night, his second goal coming as late as the 82nd minute.
However, in the process of netting his 22nd La Liga strike of the season, the 34-year-old suggested that he had sustained a leg injury.
Even though Real had made all five substitutions, Benzema indicated that he wanted to be withdrawn, most likely with one eye on the game at the weekend.
Speaking after the match, boss Carlo Ancelotti said that "Karim didn't feel good after jumping", adding that he would be evaluated on Wednesday.
Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo also sustained injuries during the victory at Son Moix, Real's win taking them 10 points clear at the top of the La Liga standings. body check tags ::
