Zidane reserves Bale, Casemiro, Isco and Nacho for PSG
The Real Madrid boss has named a slightly changed side for the visit of Real Sociedad with the Champions League clash next Wednesday in mind.
Zinedine Zidane has made a few changes to his side to welcome Real Sociedad to the Bernabéu on Saturday, calling Lucas Vázquez and Marco Asensio into the starting XI with an eye on the PSG match next Wednesday.
The Real boss has elected not to start with Nacho, who will fill in for the suspended Dani Carvajal against the Ligue 1 leaders and will probably get a run-out at right back at some point this evening, while keeping Gareth Bale and Casemiro in reserve for the European clash.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema start up front in a 4-4-2 that features no recognised holding midfielder with Mateo Kovacic on the bench and Marcos Llorente left out of the squad.
