Madrid dissapointed with Emery and consider recalling Kubo

Real Madrid are disappointed with the lack of minutes that Takefusa Kubo has got in the five gameweeks he has been at Villarreal. He's played 54 minutes out of a possible 450 and, despite having come on in every game, is yet to get a start.

According to 'Radio Marca', the upset within the Real Madrid ranks is substantial because they had hoped the Japanese player would take a step forward at a bigger team but, in reality, he is playing even less than he did at Mallorca.

The club from the Spanish capital are trying to avoid a repeat of what happened last season with Andriy Lunin and Real Valladolid.

Despite the fact that Real loaned out the Ukrainian goalkeeper with fairly high expectations, Jordi Masip failed to start him and they were forced to recall him before sending him out to Real Oviedo to finish the season.

It is too early to jump to this extreme, but it can't be ruled out if things keep going the way they're headed at Villarreal.
