Real Madrid needs a chance to count their chips ahead of a crucial UEFA Champions League tie, and their upcoming match against Eibar seems like a good chance to do so for French boss Zinedine Zidane.
Los Blancos will have to deal against Los Armeros without four key players, two of them out due to injury and two more were granted some rest. The two men left out of the 19-man squad facing Eibar due to injury are French footballers Raphael Varane and striker Karim Benzema, who had to be subbed off during Real's visit to Wolfsburg which ended with a 2-0 defeat for Zizou's crew. Varane came down with a muscular injury prior to El Clásico, and he is expected to miss yet another week of action.
Surprisingly enough, Costa Rican shot-stopper Keylor Navas and Luka Modric will watch Saturday's game from the stands, as Zidane decided to give them some rest. The team's starting goalkeeper hadn't missed a match since last December, when then-coach Rafa Benitez handed Kiko Casilla the gloves against Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League. Meanwhile, Luka Modric has struggled with fitness issues ever since joining Los Blancos, and Zidane thought he could use some time off.
This is Real Madrid's call up for Saturday's game.
