Zidane on Bale and James: They're not injured, they're just not available to play Real Madrid Both set for international duty

Zinedine Zidane was not in a good mood when asked about Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez's absence in his pre-match press conference ahead of Real Madrid's trip to Eibar.

Bale and James haven't played for Los Blancos in recent weeks but are set to jet off with their countries during the upcoming international break.

"It's not that they're injured, they're not available to play," Zidane said about the pair.

"They're going to go off with their national teams and then they five or six days... we'll see if they're ready to play with their national teams."
