Vinicius replaces Vazquez in Madrid squad against Betis, Bale & James remain out

Zinedine Zidane has chosen his 19 players for the visit of Real Betis to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, with Gareth Bale, Lucas Vazquez and James Rodriguez among those left out.

Vinicius has returned to the setup after being left out of Wednesday's game against Leganes and will be eager to prove his worth to the coach.

James and Bale were not selected as neither had trained with the team during the week, while Alvaro Odriozola, Lucas Vazquez, Brahim Diaz and Mariano Diaz were also cut.
