Zinedine Zidane keeps his faith in Real Madrid’s youngsters for this afternoon’s La Liga visit of Celta Vigo as Gareth Bale is named a substitute.
As promised by the Coach before the game, young trio Casemiro, Lucas Vazquez and Borja Mayoral are involved once more, having starred in the 3-1 win at Levante midweek, while Marcelo and Bale have recovered from calf injuries to take their places on the bench.
However, neither Luka Modric nor Toni Kroos figure in the matchday squad due to a foot injury and a bout of flu respectively as Karim Benzema is absent for the third straight game.
