We have reached the business end of the season and Zidane does not want to waste time. This weekend, Real Madrid travel to Las Palmas.
However, it looks as if the Frenchman already has one eye on the Champions League. 'Los Blancos' travel to Turin on Tuesday to face Juventus and Zidane wants everyone at 100%.
The one man who definitely won't be taking any part in the Canary Islands is Dani Carvajal. He picked up his fifth yellow of the season in his last league game, leaving him well rested for the upcoming derby against Atletico.
In addition to Carvajal, there are a host of other players who will remain in Madrid and not travel with the squad to Gran Canaria. According to 'AS', Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos will be left behind, taking a well deserved break after the international fixtures.
But it will not just be those two who get some r&r. There are a few regular starters who will travel, but sit on the bench until called upon. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', these are Keylor Navas, Toni Kroos, Marcelo and Casemiro.
A lot of changes are in store for Zidane's side. Those with the least amount of playing time will have a chance to step up, and Zidane will certainly be hoping they can shine and that his gamble pays off.
