Benzema reportedly unfollows Mbappe, 4 other French teammates on Instagram

Karim Benzema has reportedly unfollowed all the France team players on the photo-sharing App, Instagram, except Kylian Mbappe and four others.

Benzema's brutal decision follows his earlier decision to call time on his international career on the back of France's heartbreaking World Cup final defeat to Argentina.

The 35-year-old Real Madrid frontman was originally named in Didier Deschamps 26-man squad, however, missed out on the tournament due to a thigh injury.

His inability to return to the France World Cup team aside from his injury has been associated with a number of reasons including some senior players revolting against the decision to bring him back, per SB Nation.

Fuelling the claims of his bad blood with the rest of the French team, the current Ballon d'Or holder has reportedly unfollowed all players on the team on Instagram except five players.

According to Besoccer, Benzema, who is bracing himself for the return of club football, only follows Madrid teammates Camavinga and Tchouameni.

Not forgetting World Cup Golden Boot winner Kylian Mbappé, Marcus Thuram and defender Raphael Varane.
