Santiago Solari Questions Isco Fitness, Player Dropped for Real Valladolid Clash

Real Madrid manager Santiago Solari has said Isco is currently not in good enough physical shape to play for the club, with the player left out of the squad for the clash with Real Valladolid on Sunday.

The Spain international has not started a match in La Liga since Solari was appointed and was dropped from the squad entirely for Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Ajax in the UEFA Champions League.

Ahead of the team's game on Sunday, Solari was asked about rumours of Isco refusing to travel with the team on Tuesday after he was dropped and why the 26 year old wasn't currently getting minutes.
