Jese Rodriguez hopes for Real Madrid chance

Real Madrid youth player Jese Rodriguez has admitted that he does not understand why he has not yet been given a chance in the first team.

His Castilla teammate Alvaro Morata has impressed this season when given a chance, but Jese has said that there is a large number of non-homegrown players in the Real side.

"In the first team there are good players but a lot of them are not homegrown," Marca quotes Jese as saying.

"I do not see why I have not been given a chance. What I will do is keep working, but I do not know. I hope the club know I'm training hard; I'm sure they know, and they will consider me soon enough."

Rodriguez has made one appearance for the Real first team in La Liga.
