Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Keylor Navas left out of Real Madrid squad

ZINEDINE Zidane has decided to give Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Keylor Navas the weekend off, leaving the trio out of his squad for Real Madrid’s LaLiga match against Sporting Gijon.

As expected, Gareth Bale, Pepe and Raphael Varane are also left off the list due to their respective injury concerns, while Dani Carvajal misses out too as a result of his yellow card accumulation suspension.

With so many first teamers missing, Los Blancos’ 20-year-old youth teamer Avaro Tejero – who plays at full-back – has been called up for the trip to Asturias, which kicks off at 16:15 WET on Saturday afternoon.

Squad:

Goalkeepers: Kiko Casilla and Ruben Yanez.

Defenders: Ramos, Nacho, Marcelo, Coentrao, Danilo and Tejero.

Midfielders: Kroos, James, Casemiro, Kovacic, Modric, Asensio and Isco.

Strikers: Lucas Vazquez, Mariano and Morata
