    So, is Benzema "available for selection" now? I thought he was only a witness now.

    he was never anything but a witness. he was barred from the NT not on his merits or any legal onus but because the public turmoil surrounding his affair was a great disturbance to the environment around the team. benzema's statements about "bowing to racist pressures" was inopportune, clumsy, counterproductive, but basically true.
