For different reasons, Real Madrid's three strikers Benzema, Jovic and Mariano have been working together over the international break, all with eyes on El Clasico.
A FIFA international break normally means that the Real Madrid training sessions are a mix of youngsters, or players coming back from injury, mixed in with a few stars that are not representing their countries for a variety of reasons.
In this October split, however, Zidane has seen all three of his strikers working alongside each other at Valdebebas.
There is no doubt that Karim Benzema gets the nod upfront from Zidane when he is fit.
His continued presence at training during these two weeks is down to his fall out with another French coach, Didier Deschamps, who reaffirmed his position this week that it would not be a good idea for the Madrid man to return to the World Cup-winning squad.
It's not often that an in-form striker is left out by a national team manager, and clearly this is the non-footballing decision.
Luka Jovic has played a big role for his country, coming through all of the younger categories until 2018 when he made the step up to the senior team.
He has featured seven times for the first team, scoring two goals along the way, but has been frozen out of this particular set of games as punishment for over-playing an injury in September in order to return to his new club.
The third-choice striker right now - not including naturally wider players who are also in front of him in the pecking order - is Mariano Díaz.
The boy from the Dominican Republic is not seen as part of Zidane's plans, no matter how hard he tries to impress.
His best option, if he is ever to get the nod for a call-up for Spain (he is eligible) is to find a new club and do well for them.
