Zidane leaves Ceballos out of Real Madrid squad for Villarreal visit
The French coach excluded him from the squad for the trip to Celta, and has done so again. Ramos, Llorente, Benzema, and Achraf also miss out.
Real Madrid have released the squad that will face Villarreal in LaLiga on Saturday afternoon.
Ramos and Benzema still injured
Dani Ceballos is a notable absentee for the second consecutive week. The playmaker - who joined from Real Betis in the summer - did not travel to Vigo last weekend and Zinedine Zidane has left him out again.
Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema are unavailable due to injury, while Marcos Llorente and Achraf Hakimi will also watch from the stands. As with Ceballos, their absence is a technical decision.
Dani Carvajal returns to the squad after serving a suspension in the draw in Balaídos.

Real Madrid 19-man squad is as follows: Navas, Casilla, Moha; Carvajal, Vallejo, Varane, Nacho, Marcelo, Theo; Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Isco, Kovacic; Asensio, Cristiano, Bale, Lucas Vázquez, and Mayoral.
