Real Madrid striker, Karim Benzema has arrived at France's Clairefontaine base for his first call-up since 2015.
The 33-year-old joined the squad at France's Clairefontaine training centre on Wednesday May 26. It's the first time since five year Benzema return to France national team after his alleged sex-tape blackmail of former team-mate Mathieu Valbuena.
The striker is accused of pressuring Valbuena in 2015 to pay blackmailers who threatened to reveal an intimate video in which Valbuena featured. The scandal led to his ban from the France national team since November 2015.
The striker has 27 goals in 81 international appearances and was last week named as this season's best French foreign-based player by the country's players' association.
He scored 29 goals this term for Real Madrid, passing 20 league goals in all three seasons since Cristiano Ronaldo left for Juventus in 2018.
