Real Madrid News: Ronaldo dropped from next La Liga game

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has been dropped from the squad for the side’s next La Liga game against Leganes on Wednesday. The decision by Zinedine Zidane was taken to avoid any injury worries ahead of a crucial Champions League second leg against PSG next week.

That win, however, came at a great cost as their hugely influential left-back Marcelona was taken off after only 30 minutes of the contest. The Brazilian’s status for the game against PSG is still unknown.
