According to a statement credited to the president of the French Football Federation (FFF) Noel La Graet, the career of the striker with the National team is finished.

The last time Benzema represented in the Blue Jersey was back in October 2015 following his attempt blackmail on teammate, Mathieu Valbeuna for a sex tape.

Since the issue came to light, France coach, Didier Deschamps has failed to invite Benzema to the national team and the striker believes the coach is only bowing to pressure, given his consistency at club level.

The case is still in court and would be decided in November.

However, regardless of the outcome of the court case, La Graet believes the four times Champions league winner is done with the national team.

Benzema is currently nursing an injury that could keep him out the first El-classico for the season and has been capped 81 times already by France. He may well not get the 82nd cap.
