Real Madrid's injury woe continue as it was confirmed Raphael Varane isn't fit to face Sporting Gijon on Saturday.

Varane finished the game against Sporting CP, but didn't train on Friday and Zinedine Zidane has deemed it unnecessary for the player to be risked with El Clasico around the corner.

Fortunately for Real Madrid, they have been boosted by the returns of Pepe and Casemiro. Both trained normally on Friday and both will make the final squad.

Casemiro has been out for a month and a half after an issue with his fibula, while Pepe hasn't been available since the Alaves game in October. 

Young Martin Odegaard and Enzo Zidane trained under the watchful eye of the French coach while Toni Kroos, who is recovering from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal, did so alone in the gym.
