Karim Benzema fitness: Striker facing race against clock for Juventus v Real Madrid

Karim Benzema is facing a race against the clock to be fit for Real Madrid's trip to Turin to play Juventus.

The Champions League semi-final first leg takes place on Tuesday night and the French striker trained on Sunday, as he continues his recovery from a knee sprain.

The striker has missed five games after sustaining the problem in the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Atletico Madrid.

Javier Hernandez has taken his place in the side and scored some crucial goals.

However, the Mexican may lose out against Juventus even if Benzema is not fit, with Gareth Bale making his own injury comeback on Saturday against Sevilla.
