"Real" Madrid club will face "Espanyol" in "La Liga" matches without two of their brightest stars.
In the team's training, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo could not participate, and later the team's coach Zidane confirmed the worst prognosis.
Let's remind that both the leader of the Portuguese and Welsh national teams played in the Champions League match against "Sporting" in the middle of the week.
C.Ronaldo will not appear against "Espanyol" because he feels throat pain. Meanwhile, G.Bale has a sore hip, so I will not risk the players' health," said the Frenchman.
"Of course, James Rodriguez can play as he did in his first season, so I will give him a chance against "Espanyol."
The clash between Barcelona and Real clubs will take place on Sunday.
