Isco and Marcelo are keen to impress: The pair trained on the team's day off LaLiga Santander - Real Madrid New hope for the two outcasts

Real Madrid's forgotten men Isco and Marcelo got to work at Valdebebas on the team's day off as they aim to impress the returning Zinedine Zidane and find their way back into the starting XI, now that Santiago Solari has been sacked.

The change of coach has opened up new opportunities for the pair, but it remains true that their futures beyond this summer remain uncertain.

Both Marcelo and Isco were important players under Zidane last time and both have been given newfound hope by his return.

Vinicius Junior was also at Valdebebas, though he will miss the majority of what's left of this season and is only expected to be able to play a handful of minutes between now and the summer.

The club are not rushing the Brazilian back to fitness as he has nothing to prove to the Frenchman. He will be a pillar of the team next season, one way or another.
