Karim Benzema (Template:Lang-ar) (born 19 December, 1987) is a French footballer of Algerian descent who plays in a forward role for Olympique Lyonnais. A pure product of the Olympique Lyonnais' youth academy, he is capable of playing as the main striker in the Olympique Lyonnais' preferred 4-3-3 formation, but he can also play on both wings.
Benzema was called up to the national team by Raymond Domenech for an international friendly against Greece on November 15, 2006. Unfortunately, his debut for Les Bleus will have to wait for another time, as he sustained a thigh injury in Lyon's 2-1 victory over Valenciennes and will be out for 2 months. Benzema is an extremely talented ypungster and is currently the topscorer in the French league 1 with 13 goals. .
