Reports are out claiming that the French PM Manuel Valls has questioned Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema’s place in the national team.
Benzema is being investigated by French police for an alleged role in a blackmail plot.
“A great athlete must be exemplary.
“If he is not, he has no place in the France team,” Valls said on Europe 1.
“If there were a minister who was accused, he would not be in the government.
“In a way, it’s the same for the national team of France.”
