The Isco case continues writing new chapters, with news that the player refused to shake Santiago Solari's hand in the dressing room after the defeat at Eibar.
It now makes more sense as to why the coach discarded the midfielder for the Champions League match against Roma.
As reported by El Partidazo de la Cadena Cope and now confirmed by MARCA, Solari offered his hand but was ignored, a gesture that the former didn't ignore.
Added to Isco's lack of intensity in training, it became a simple decision to leave him out.
The friction and tension continues to escalate between the pair, with it looking more and more likely that the midfielder will continue on the bench at best.
A starter with Spain in the two games played against Croatia and Bosnia, Isco has consistently been overlooked by Solari the penultimate chapter of this story taking place this Wednesday in Valdebebas.
During training, Isco left early claiming some discomfort, but a short examination showed that it was nothing serious.
This Thursday, Solari will lead a training session with all the staff and will see if Isco trains at the same pace as his teammates, just two days ahead of Real Madrid-Valencia.

Mr big deal, if he don’t learn how to reapect the coach, he will finish his career on the bench, he did the same to Zidane, when he started a game and played 7min and then he was substituted and walked slowly off the pitch, then Zidane wanted to shake his hand and Isco just ignored him and walked past...

😡 People are saying Isco needs to respect SOLARI for him to play are you kidding me? Well your all wrong SOLARI needs to put his personal feelings about Isco a side and play him cuz its better for the team and we are here to win games I do not care who has power between Isco and Solari cuz I bet Sergio Ramos could slap da F out of SOLARI on LIVe TV and he would be on startINg XI for the next game so SOLARI personal feelings leave them at your house please dont PISSED off players who could care REAL MADRID for 5/6 years to come 🙏🏾

Man if the guy is overweight, trains with reluctance and above lacks respect for the coach is normal to not play and if the situation worsens could spend a holiday season in the box. Precedents there are as was the case of Riquelme faced with Pellegrini in Villareal. I do not think Isco is such a conflictive player and he's probably just going through a crisis or the pot has gone out of his mind. The normal thing is that racapacite and return to resume the job as a professional.
