Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has left Cristiano Ronaldo out of his squad for this evening's La Liga match against Deportivo La Coruna.

The four-time Ballon d'Or winner, who has scored five goals in his last three games in all competitions, will play no part in what could be a crucial encounter.

Los Blancos surrendered their position at the top of the La Liga table on Sunday after losing 3-2 to arch rivals Barcelona in dramatic fashion.

For tonight's game, The Mirror reports that there is no place in the 19-man squad for Ronaldo or Toni Kroos, while Gareth Bale is also missing due to a calf injury that could keep him out for the rest of the season.

Madrid and Barcelona are level on 75 points, with the Catalan giants having played a game more.
