Zidane passes his five-man blacklist to the Real Madrid board

Zinedine Zidane does not plan to keep five players in his preferred squad for the remaining half of the 2020/21 season at Real Madrid.

The Madrid boss seems to have settled on the set of players who will lead his side to glory. The Frenchman has overseen nine unbeaten matches since an embarrassing 2-0 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk in November.

Zidane has now decided to count five players entirely out of his plans for the remainder of the season, according to Diario GOL. His blacklist has already been passed to the board of directors which includes Alvaro Odriozola, Isco, Marcelo, Luka Jovic and Mariano.
