Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says he will not speak with his players until the end of the season to decide who goes and who stays. One of the big decisions will come regarding the goalkeeper.

The coach and the club disagree over who should be No 1. Zidane has backed Keylor Navas, putting the Costa Rican between the sticks since he returned.

However in the presidential box at Madrid, the idea is that Thibaut Courtois should be the top stopper.

Madrid will also get Lunin back on loan from Leganes and the idea is that he would be the second choice.

 

Let’s see whether Zinedine Zidane gets his way or not over Navas - the first real conflict since his return to the Bernabeu.
