Cristiano Ronaldo to be left out of Real Madrid's squad for Leganes LaLiga - Leganes vs Real Madrid Won't play the rescheduled match

Zinedine Zidane won't include Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid's squad list for their Wednesday night league match away at Leganes.

The fixture was due to be played in the 16th round of LaLiga, but was postponed due to Los Blancos' participation in the Club World Cup and the coach wants his star man to enjoy a midweek of rest, with the crucial Champions League second leg against Paris Saint-Germain on the horizon.

"I don't know how many years he went without stopping, but now the moment has come where it's necessary for him and for everyone for him to not play from time to time," Zidane explained after last weekend's victory over Real Betis.

Ronaldo was even substituted towards the end of that win over the Andalusian side.
