Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo will miss his side’s clash against Eibar on Saturday owing to injury.
Ronaldo, who scored twice in Real’s 3-3 draw against Las Palmas on Wednesday, did not train with the team on Friday. Coach Zinedine Zidane said, “Cristiano wasn’t feeling 100% and that is why he did not train today.”
Gareth Bale will also miss the clash as he has been banned for two games as punishment for the red card he was shown during the clash against Las Palmas. Bale was sent off for pushing midfielder Jonathan Viera in the second half. Bale will miss the match at Eibar away and then, the tie against Real Betis at home. Alvaro Morata will also miss the match due to a suspension. Real are currently second on the table, with a point behind leaders Barcelona, but have a game in hand.
