Real Madrid leave out star for tonight's Champions League fixture against CSKA Moscow

Real Madrid boss Santiago Solari has announced the squad that would face CSKA Moscow in the last group game of the Champions League at Santiago Bernabéu.

Sergio Ramos rested for CSKA

There is no place for captain Sergio Ramos and Casemiro in the released squad for UCL fixture. Real Madrid have qualified for the next round and manager Scolari wants to use this as an opportunity to give game time to some of the other players.

Casemiro to miss out

Other than Ramos, Casemiro is not named in the squad. Reportedly, he is still down with an injury and Marcus Llorente will take his place in the midfield. Nacho and Reguilón are among others who will not feature in the UCL tie tonight.
