Cristiano Ronaldo to be left out of Las Palmas trip LaLiga - Las Palmas vs Real Madrid Rest ahead of Juve

Real Madrid will take on LaLiga strugglers Las Palmas on Saturday without Cristiano Ronaldo, who is to rest ahead of the midweek game with Juventus.

With the league title well and truly gone, Los Blancos are throwing all their eggs into the Champions League basket and want their star men fit for Tuesday's visit to Turin.

It will mean Ronaldo potentially losing ground in the Pichichi fight, where he is only three goals behind Barcelona's Lionel Messi.

The winger nonetheless trained as normal at Valdebebas on Thursday, having returned from Portugal international duty.
