Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema's nightmare season at Al-Ittihad is continuing.

The Frenchman quit Los Blancos for the Saudi Pro League in the summer for a final mega payday in his career.

However, Benzema has been struggling to find his best form, while he is having friction with his team.

While he has been scoring 15 times from 24 games, Benzema was dropped from their Saudi Pro League game against Al-Tai last week.

He is also not in the squad for their Asian Champions League trip to Navbahor Namangan in Uzbekistan.

Coach Marcelo Gallardo is said to not be getting along with Benzema at present, per AS in Spain.
