Bale rested for Copa del Rey tie

'Los Rojillos' visit the Santiago Bernabeu facing a 3-0 deficit, where neither Cristiano Ronaldo, also absent in Soria, nor Gareth Bale, will feature after the French coach opted to turn to his reserves. 

Despite Real being in complete control of the tie, Zidane expects a response from his squad players, following crisis talks which took place before training yesterday. 

The manager has called up Keylor, Casilla, Moha, Carvajal, Vallejo, Nacho, Theo, Achraf, Tejero, Kroos, Casemiro, Llorente, Asensio, Isco, Kovacic, Ceballos, Oscar, Lucas Vázquez and Mayoral for the game against Numancia, which will kick off at 21:30 (CET).
