The veteran striker is currently out recovering from a knee injury. In his absence, Les Blues were beaten 2-0 by Denmark in their 2022-23 UEFA Nations League match on Sunday. After the match, Deschamps was asked about the possibility of Benzema winning the 2022 Ballon d'Or. He said (via RMC Sport): "I hope it will be him because he deserves it, because of what he has done in this sporting season with his club where he won important titles. And with us, too, where he was there in the fall ... to win the Nations League." He added: "He has been one of the best strikers in the world for years.
