Karim Benzema "fed up" of being subbed

Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema says that he is "fed up" with being substituted by head coach Rafael Benitez this season.

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has admitted that he is frustrated with being substituted by head coach Rafael Benitez this season.

The Frenchman has netted six goals in six La Liga games in the new campaign, but has surprisingly only played the full 90 minutes in one of Los Blancos' league fixtures this term.

Benzema opened the scoring in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid before being subbed off late on and the 27-year-old has said that he is "fed up of being taken off".

"Substitutions are what the coach decides, I'm just there to help my teammates," Benzema told AS.

"It's true I'm fed up of being taken off. I'm calm and will continue to work so I'm not always substituted. He took me off to get a result, for defensive reasons. It's true that the electronic board always shows the number nine. Ask Benitez why that is."

Benzema departed the field when Real Madrid were still leading, but a late strike from Luciano Vietto levelled the scores at the Vicente Calderon.
