James Rodriguez will play no part in Real Madrid’s Champions League final against Juventus, after manager Zinedine Zidane left him out of the squad.
This further puts the future of the Colombia international in doubt, as he has been recently linked with moves to England and Italy.
James has found playing time very limited under Zidane, but has been able to muster a respectable 11 goals in 32 appearances in all competitions.
Lucas Vazquez has also been omitted by the Frenchman, while the likes of Marcos Asensio, Gareth Bale and Alvaro Morata are on the bench.
Confirmed starting XIs:
Real Madrid XI vs. Juventus: Navas; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Isco, Benzema, Ronaldo.
Juventus XI vs. Real Madrid: Buffon; Barzagli, Chiellini, Bonucci; Alves, Khedira, Pjanic, Sandro; Mandzukic, Dybala; Higuain.
