Reports emanating from France says National Team outcast, Karim Benzema would be part of Didier Deschamps' 26 man squad for the upcoming European Championship this summer.

According to French Tabloid, Le Parisien, the Real Madrid forward would be making a return to the side after five years of absence.

Benzema hasn't represented the 2018 FIFA World Cup winners ever since he was allegedly accused of Blackmailing former French team mate Mathieu Valbuena.

He was subsequently suspended from National Team engagements. He was later left out of France's Euro 2016 on home soil and the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

His continued impressive form for Real Madrid over the last few seasons might have forced the hands of the French Football Authorities and Manager Didier Deschamps to include him in their Euro 2020 roaster.
