Karim Benzema was substituted with a suspected hamstring issue in the first half of Al-Ittihad's match against Al-Wehda on Monday.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The French striker went down in the first half of the Saudi Pro League game and was given treatment on the field. It was decided the 35-year-old could not continue and he was taken off, with fellow summer signing Jota taking his place after 42 minutes. Benzema's replacement went on to score to put his team 2-0 up after Romarinho broke the deadlock in the second half.
