Karim Benzema continues to be uncomfortable this season with the Real Madrid team.
The Frenchman has also suffered his eighth injury.
On Thursday, 48 hours before the duel with Espanyol, he trained in the gym because he has problems with his ankle.
Ballon d’Or winner Benzema is expected to miss Saturday, but is doubtful to play in the second leg against Liverpool.
Injuries for him in this edition started on September 6, against Celtic.
