Benzema return lifts France

Karim Benzema could return for France in Tuesday’s Euro 2012 qualifying clash with Bosnia-Herzegovina, but Guillaume Hoarau has been ruled out.

Benzema has recovered from a right ankle injury, while Hoarau suffered a bruised right shoulder in last night’s clash with Belarus, which Les Bleus lost 1-0 at the Stade de France, and has returned to Paris St Germain.
