Solari uses 20 different players as starters, yet none of these is Isco

  /  autty

This is the sixth match since Santiago Solari took over as Real Madrid first-team coach and it is the sixth where Isco doesn't feature in the starting line-up.

In fact, this time around he hasn't even been included on the bench and he has been left out of the final squad.

It is believed this is a sporting decision, even if it was reported that the player had a minor physical issue.

With Dani Carvajal back from injury and starting against Roma, Solari has now used 20 different players as starters, yet none of these is Isco.

It's a tough blow for the No.22, whose face said it all when he stepped off the team bus.
