The Portuguese forward will rest against Espanyol tonight

Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo will rest again on Tuesday night. He has been left out of Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid squad to face Espanyol at Cornella. The second out of the last three games he's missed, during his best goalscoring form of the season.

Zidane did not call up Ronaldo to face Leganes at Butarque either, ahead of their Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain.

The French coach gets Marco Asensio back, who has recovered after having a wisdom tooth extracted. Ronaldo is out along with injured players Marcelo, Vallejo, Modric and Kroos.

The squad is: Keylor Navas, Kiko Casilla, Luca Zidane, Carvajal, Achraf, Sergio Ramos, Varane, Nacho, Theo, Casemiro, Marcos Llorente, Kovacic, Ceballos, Isco, Marco Asensio, Lucas Vázquez, Bale, Benzema and Borja Mayoral.

After the clash in Barcelona, Madrid will rest for a day before returning to training on Thursday, with a match against Getafe on Saturday and then their trip to Paris.
