Trouble for Zidane. Ahead of a nail-biting end to the season, Real Madrid could miss three key players for the final La Liga fixture in Malaga.

Two matches to go in La Liga. An Zidane will have to face these two 'finals' with the looming danger of suspensions in the background. Up to three players could miss the vital clash against Malaga, the last match of the campaign.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Isco and Lucas Vazquez could be shown a yellow card at Balaidos and would be out of the match in the south of Spain. That is why, the French coach will have to sacrifice one of the three players for the midweek clash against Celta, so that at least one of them is available on Sunday.

Another option would involve the three of them playing, with the added risk of none of them featuring in the 'final' in Malaga. The most notable absence would be that of Ronaldo, as victory is crucial on their way to lifting La Liga trophy.

A tough decision for Zidane who had counted on the three footballers for the key matches, and now needs a plan B.
