Real Madrid's options of winning a fifth straight La Liga game diminished a bit today, as two of Zidane's most trusted "soldiers" will be out for tonight's clash against Espanyol.
La Liga's current title holders will have to deal with the absences of Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Brazilian midfielder will miss this match after coming down with a gastric problem, while the Portuguese ace was left out by Zidane to grant him enough rest for Real's upcoming matches against Getafe and more importantly, the second leg of the UEFA Champions League tie against PSG.
Real Madrid will also have to deal with the absences of Marcelo, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Jesús Vallejo, all of them out due to injury.
Here's Real Madrid's squad for the clash against Espanyol.
"Our 19-men squad for the game against Espanyol. Casemiro is a last-minute absence, Oscar Arnaiz will take his place."
