In Real Madrid's last training session before their trip to Ipurua, where they will play Eibar, there was a noticeable absence. Ronaldo was seen working with the club's doctors, and was unable to join the rest of the team.
Zinedine Zidane will not risk his player's health and will leave him out of the team against Eibar, who held them to a draw earlier in the season.
It is a huge blow to Zidane's title aspirations as he also has to cope without other attacking players, Gareth Bale and Alvaro Morata, and Benzema does not seem to find his best version.
