Real Madrid vs Valencia Spaniard was replaced at half-time

The visit of Valencia is always likely to be a difficult test for Real Madrid and after a disappointing performance by his standards on Sunday, Isco left the pitch feeling dizzy and close to vomiting.

After failing to have any real impact on proceedings, the former Malaga playmaker was substituted at half-time and was clearly out of sorts.

Mateo Kovacic took his place in midfield with Zinedine Zidane's confidence in the Croatian at a record high after an excellent pre-season.

Isco will likely be assessed by medical personnel before he joins up with the Spanish national team.
