France back misfiring Benzema despite goal drought


PARIS (Reuters) - France coach Didier Deschamps is hoping forward Karim Benzema can rediscover his scoring touch and end a year-long international goal drought as they look to guarantee at least a World Cup qualifying playoff spot.

Second-placed France are aiming to grab the six points that would secure a top two finish in Group I, which world champions Spain lead by a point, when they visit Georgia on Friday and Belarus four days later.
