He was not named in the squad for the win over Roma this week

Real Madrid could have a problem in the dressing room after coach Santiago Solari decided to leave Isco in the stands for Tuesday's game against Roma, a 2-0 win in the Italian capital which guaranteed top spot in their Champions League group. 

It seems, according to Manolo Lama on COPE, that Solari decided to leave Isco out because he had shown him a lack of respect. 

Solari and Isco reportedly clashed at the weekend and the relationship between the two, at the moment, is completely broken. The midfielder's not started a single game since the new coach came in. 

TRAVELLED 

The Madrid boss, really annoyed with what the player said to him, had planned to leave him in Madrid as a 'punishment.' 

However, after reconsidering, he decided to take him to Rome so that the pre-match was not taken up with questions and debate about the situation. 

When leaving the Stadio Olimpico aftere the game, Isco didn't want to stoke the flames, but he did admit that his absence "was not to do with any fitness issue."
