Given their congested schedule and injury blows, Real Madrid travel to the Butarque for their La Liga fixture against Leganes without five key starters: Keylor Navas, Marcelo, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Zinedine Zidane has announced the list of 18 players who will play in the postponed league game against Leganes on Wednesday.

Marcelo and Modric were already expected to miss the clash after picking up injuries at the weekend to join Kroos on the sidelines, meanwhile, Ronaldo was also a known absentee after posting a picture of himself on holiday with his girlfriend.

However, No. 1 goalkeeper Navas will also sit out with Kiko Casilla his likely replacement between the sticks as Zidane looks to give his youngsters a chance to perform during the congested fixture schedule.

The players included in the squad are: Kiko Casilla, Luca Zidane, Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Nacho, Theo Hernandez, Achraf Hakimi, Casemiro, Marcos Llorente, Marco Asensio, Isco, Mateo Kovacic, Dani Ceballos, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Lucas Vazquez and Borja Mayoral.
