No Ronaldo or Bale for Real Madrid's Leganes clash

The star duo have been given a breather by Zinedine Zidane, who has also left out Toni Kroos ahead of a big week of action.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale will both miss Real Madrid's clash with Leganes on Wednesday, the club have announced.

There is a full card of Spanish top-flight fixtures this midweek, with Zinedine Zidane's men forced to respond to Barcelona, who play Sevilla at home earlier in the day.

However, the current league leaders, who could be second in the standings by the time they start, will be without two key figures in the form of Ronaldo and Bale, both of whom have failed to make the cut for their squad.
