Real Madrid's French international Karim Benzema has undergone a surgical procedure in France to drain liquid from his right knee, the club said on its website.
.
Benzema was admitted on Monday afternoon to an orthopaedic clinic in Lyon, southeastern France, where a ganglion, or mass, on his right knee was treated.
.
The 25-year-old striker had a "CAT-guided aspiration", the club said late on Monday, a procedure in which surgeons use a CAT (computer axial tomography) scanner to guide them as they insert a needle and then drain liquid.
.
The French clinic's surgeon Bertrand Sonnery Cottet, of the Centre Orthopedique Santy, carried out the operation under the supervision of the Real Madrid health services, the club said on realmadrid.com.
.
However, the player himself is confident that he will be fit in time for the start of pre-season training next month.
.
"It is a cyst that has been bothering me and it is almost not even an operation," he told Spanish sports daily Marca in an interview published on Tuesday.
.
"I will be in perfect condition when the pre-season starts, we don't have to worry about this topic."

Benzema did not really have a good season this year. So I just feel Real Madrid should sell him off once and for all...
