Ancelotti gives update on Benzema, confirms return date

Karim Benzema will return to full training with Real Madrid on Saturday, according to Carlo Ancelotti.

"[Benzema] is coming back on Saturday [December 10th] and we're going to start preparing him," Ancelotti told Corriere dello Sport.

Benzema is currently holidaying on the island of La Reunion in France while he recovers from the injury that ruled him out of the World Cup.

Other Real Madrid players are already back in training and Benzema's return will provide an added boost.
