The duo missed the Mallorca loss and will not be ready to travel to Turkey

Zinedine Zidane will be without Luka Modric and Gareth Bale for Tuesday's Champions League tie against Galatasaray in Istanbul.

Modric and Bale both missed the loss to Mallorca at the weekend and neither has recovered in time for the vital match against Galatasaray this week.

The full squad is:

Goalkeepers: Courtois, Areola & Altube.

Defenders: Carvajal, Militão, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Odriozola & Mendy.

Midfielders: Kroos, Casemiro, Valverde, James & Isco.

Forwards: Hazard, Benzema, Jović, Brahim, Vinicius Jr. & Rodrygo.
