Belgium forward Eden Hazard and Spanish wide man Marco Asensio are not in Zinedine Zidane's squad to face Real Betis at the Villamarin on Saturday night. They join Militao and Mariano Diaz, who are out injured, while Isco Alarcon is back and Lucas Vazquez is also in the squad with youth players Marvin and Sergio Arribas dropping out.
Zidane thinks Hazard and Asensio aren't fit yet and doesn't want to force the issue. He will leave room for them to get back physically to their best. Martin Odegaard is in the squad after giving a false negative in terms of coronavirus tests.
