Real Madrid have announced their squad list for La Liga clash against Valencia.
Marcelo is injured and Ferland Mendy is suspended, leaving the French coach without a natural left-back for the trip.
Zidane has three options to play in that position: Nacho, Eder Militao or Dani Carvajal being played on the opposite flank.
Beyond the absences through injury, Brahim Diaz and Mariano Diaz have both been left out of the squad for technical reasons.
A curious point is the inclusion of Casemiro, who is just one yellow card away from a domestic suspension.
Gareth Bale was a fitness doubt, but the Welsh forward has been named as part of the squad, which will come as a relief to Zidane ahead of the Clasico where he may be forced to utilise Bale as a forward in a 4-4-2.
Full list
GKs: Courtois, Areola, Altube.
DFs: Carvajal, Militão, Ramos, Varane, Nacho, Odriozola.
MFs: Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, Isco.
FWs: Benzema, Bale, Jović, Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo.
