Real Madrid carried out their last training session ahead of tomorrow's LaLiga fixture where Eibar are the visitors to the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Capitan Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric were noticeable absentees from this morning's session.
The player from Camas is set to sit out the game as part of Zidane's rotation policy and everything points to the Croatian midfielder having rest time too. Despite his midweek Champions League call up it appears that Coentrao will also play no role in tomorrow's game as the Portuguese defender was also absent from the drill today.
With no Ramos, everything points to a start for Pepe pairing up with French international Varane at the centre of defence. Modric's absence could throw a rare lifeline to Isco. The Benalmadena born play-maker has yet to feature in a starting XI for Zidane this season and was given a morale boost with his selection for the Spanish national team yesterday with Julen Lopetegui naming his squad for the upcoming World Cup 2018 qualifiers in Italy and Albania.
