Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema to miss Audi Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have both been left out of the Real Madrid squad for this week's Audi Cup in Germany.

On Tuesday, Real Madrid will face Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-finals, before taking on either Bayern Munich or AC Milan on the Wednesday.

Ronaldo has been left out of the party due to a back injury, while Benzema is believed to be suffering with a thigh complaint.

Teenage midfielder Martin Odegaard has been included, while there is also a spot for Spanish youth striker Borja Mayoral.

Sergio Ramos has also travelled, with reports claiming that the centre-back is close to signing a new long-term deal at the Bernabeu.
