Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane will reportedly wait until the last minute to decide whether to include Sergio Ramos and Eden Hazard from the off against Chelsea on Wednesday.
Both players have been included in the travelling squad for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final, with Real and Chelsea playing out a 1-1 draw in last week's first leg.
Hazard was included from the start against Osasuna at the weekend before being withdrawn after 72 minutes, but Ramos was not involved in any capacity due to his recent calf issue.
Given the fact that both men may be lacking match sharpness following their returns, Marca reports that Zidane is still unsure whether to include Ramos and/or Hazard from the start at Stamford Bridge.
The Blancos boss recently lost Raphael Varane to an abductor issue, and he joins Lucas Vazquez and Dani Carvajal on the list of players unavailable for the second leg.
However, Federico Valverde and Ferland Mendy are both in contention after recovering from coronavirus and a calf injury respectively, while Marcelo is also included after managing to forgo election duty. body check tags ::
