Zidane explained that Los Blancos won't take any risks with the player and that he won't be in the squad for the match on Saturday.

"He has something and, although it's not much, we don't want to risk anything," Zidane said of the Belgian in his pre-match press conference.

"So, he won't be available tomorrow."

Sergio Ramos, on the other hand, will be in the squad. Zidane confirmed this, although he wouldn't say if the captain would make it into the starting line-up.
