Zinedine Zidane Rules Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez out of Real Madrid Clash

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has ruled Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez out of Los Blancos' La Liga clash with Eibar on Saturday.

The Frenchman told reporters that neither player is injured and have been in training, but they are not available for selection:

"They aren't injured, but they're not available to play. They're going to join up with their national teams, then they have five or six days and we'll see if they're ready to play for their countries or not. They're not injured, they're out on the [training] pitch. They're still not training with the group, though, so they're unable to play tomorrow.
