Zinedine Zidane has offered a way back for Gareth Bale, Isco and Marcelo at Real Madrid as he prepares for his first game against Celta Vigo on Saturday since being re-appointed as coach.
Bale, Isco and Marcelo have all endured difficult seasons under Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari, with Bale heavily criticised for his form while Isco and Marcelo have been dropped.
Zidane's return puts Bale's future in further doubt, given the pair's relationship became strained last season, before the Welshman said he was considering his future at the club.
"I am not going to talk about Bale's season, I only talk about the 11 games we have left," Zidane said on Friday.
"We all know the player that Gareth is. I am counting on him like everyone else, we are ready and Gareth is ready."
"Isco wants to play and nothing else," said Zidane, who added on Marcelo: "He has also not played much but he is a professional. We have to respect everything the previous coaches did, it is not easy, but I am happy to see Marcelo again."
"You do not have to be thinking about who stays or goes, everyone has a contract here, then we will see what happens."
"Even if it's not new, it will be something different, it does not have to be the same thing. I am excited to have a new adventure."
