Real Madrid will face Deportivo La Coruna on Wednesday night without Cristiano Ronaldo or Toni Kroos after Zinedine Zidane left the duo out of his matchday squad.
Following injury concerns and Sergio Ramos’ suspension, Raphael Varane is in the 19-man selection as well as Castilla defender Alvaro Tejero.

One man will be cut from the squad before Zidane names his XI for the match, which kicks off at 21:30 CET, although third goalkeeper Ruben Yanez is expected to be that man to drop out and keep Tejero and fellow fringe player Mariano Diaz on the bench.
