Speaking after the match, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said he was optimistic about Benzema and Eder Militao, who was also forced off with a knock.

"After a first evaluation, it doesn't seem to be serious. But we will have to wait until they undergo tests. They both could have problems," said Ancelotti.

The tests will be carried out in the coming days, but Benzema has to be considered a doubt for at least Saturday's La Liga game at home to Mallorca and the Champions League home match against RB Leipzig next Wednesday.
