Cristiano Ronaldo left out of Real Madrid squad for La Liga trip to Deportivo

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has left Cristiano Ronaldo out of his squad for this evening's La Liga match against Deportivo La Coruna.

The four-time Ballon d'Or winner, who has scored five goals in his last three games in all competitions, will play no part in what could be a crucial encounter.

Los Blancos surrendered their position at the top of the La Liga table on Sunday after losing 3-2 to arch rivals Barcelona in dramatic fashion.

For tonight's game, The Mirror reports that there is no place in the 19-man squad for Ronaldo or Toni Kroos, while Gareth Bale is also missing due to a calf injury that could keep him out for the rest of the season.

Madrid and Barcelona are level on 75 points, with the Catalan giants having played a game more.
