Isco suffers muscle injury and will miss Valencia match

Bad news for Zinedine Zidane. The French manager will not be able to use Isco at the Di Stéfano stadium. From what was able to be seen at training, that was the manager's idea: to have him in the starting XI.

Real Madrid confirmed that he is injured. "After tests, Isco has been diagnosed with a right thigh hamstring injury", the club published in a short statement.

Isco will be assessed. It will be up to the doctors to determine when he's ready to compete.

On Thursday, for now, he will miss the game against Valencia. And it's almost certain, 'Marca' adds, that he will miss Sunday's match against Real Sociedad.
