"Real" Madrid will not enter the fight in the Spanish "La Liga" championship with the strongest lineup.
Zinedine Zidane confirmed at a press conference that at least four players will miss the match against "Mallorca" on Sunday - Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, and Lucas Vazquez.
T. Kroos has already returned to training, but is still not ready to enter the battle. Meanwhile, L. Modric and G. Bale suffered injuries during the national team camp.
"These things always happen and it is the difficult part of football," Z. Zidane spoke about the ongoing player absences. "We simply have to accept it and look for alternatives in the lineup."
"Real" is currently in first place in the "La Liga" championship after eight rounds.
