The International break added more problems for the French boss, as Los Blancos will have to make do without five footballers.

Real Madrid's coach will have to find a way of putting up a good team against Levante, especially after he confirmed two major absences due to the International break.

Added to the absences of Cristiano Ronaldo (ban), Borja Mayoral and Raphael Varane (injury), the two-time UEFA Champions League winner as Los Blancos' coach will have to make do without Keylor Navas and Luka Modric. 

The goalkeeper returned on Friday from International duty, and Zidane considered it would be risky to have him playing less than 24 hours after his arrival.

Modric's case has to do with the amount of activity he's experienced in the early stages of the season, capped by playing 180 minutes with Croatia during the break.

Here's Zidane's squad for Saturday's clash.
