Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane should not be blamed for dropping Marco Asensio, according to the talented Spain international.
Marco Asensio dismissed suggestions Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was unfair for dropping him from the European champions' starting XI.
Asensio has established himself as one of Europe's most promising midfielders since joining Madrid from Mallorca in 2014.
After an impressive loan spell with Espanyol, Asensio became a regular in Madrid's squad last term and has seen his involvement further increased this season.
The 22-year-old was particularly impressive in the first half of the campaign and started nine La Liga games before Christmas, but he has appeared in the starting XI rather more sporadically since the turn of the year.
