The Real Madrid striker has been forced to pull out of Laurent Blanc's squad because of an abductor muscle problem.
The complaint also meant that the 23-year-old missed Madrid's 4-0 victory over Espanyol yesterday evening.
Benzema, who has won 40 caps for his country, joined Los Blancos in 2009 from French club Lyon.
