Why is Benzema's hand bandaged?
¿Why does Benzema wear a bandaged hand when he plays? since when do you play like this? Do you wear it out of superstition or out of necessity? Surely many have come to Google to find answers to this question. And it is that the good striker of Real Madrid for many years, after the Al-Ittihad Jeddah Club Y Golden Ball of 2022, He has been playing for almost several years with a bandage on his right hand and a splint that protects his little hand. And this is why.
Why is Benzema's hand bandaged?
To get this answer we have to go to 13 of January of 2019, to Sevilla, specifically on the Betic side, the Benito Villamarín stadium. The French striker writhes in pain on the ground after a collision with Bartra. When the cameras focus on him you can see what happens to him, his little finger is shattered.
The operation would cause 2 months off and Karim can't afford it so he decides to end the season with his hand bandaged and protected but without having his finger in good condition. The season is over 2018-19 and Benzema decides to operate his battered little finger. The operation goes well but the Frenchman does not respect the 2 months off and when he returned to work he received a blow that left his little finger destroyed again, so he decided to always play with a bandaged hand and splint. Have passed 3 years and it is already usual to see him play like this.
