Isco 'still struggling with ankle knock'

Isco will reportedly miss Real Madrid's next two matches with the ankle injury that ruled him out of the latest Spain squad.

Real Madrid will reportedly be without Spanish midfielder Isco for Saturday's La Liga clash with Osasuna and next week's Champions League group opener against Sporting Lisbon.

The 24-year-old missed out on a spot in Julen Lopetegui's first Spain squad due to an ankle problem, but it had been thought that the midfielder would be fit to return for his club team on Saturday.

According to Marca, Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane is keen for Isco to fully recover before returning to action and therefore the Spain international will miss his team's next two matches.

Isco was strongly linked with a move away from the Bernabeu in the summer transfer window and Malaga sporting director Francesc Arnau claimed earlier this month that 'the door is always open' for the midfielder to return.
