Zidane frustrated as Marcelo and Modric add to Madrid's injury worries

Los Blancos' victory over Malaga came at a cost, with a number of key players suffering injuries that will be subject to tests on Sunday

Zinedine Zidane conceded he is becoming hugely frustrated by Real Madrid's injury list after both Marcelo and Luka Modric were forced off against Malaga.

Marcelo had to come off in the first half of his side's 2-1 home victory in LaLiga, prompting a tactical reshuffle with Isco coming off the bench and Lucas Vazquez moving to an unfamiliar right-back role.

Modric was also replaced in the closing stages – Mateo Kovacic coming on – adding to Dani Carvajal and Pepe, who are already out, while fellow defenders Danilo and Fabio Coentrao also have fitness issues.
