The association announced.
At first nothing was known about the condition of the 48-year-old Frenchman.
This means that Zidane and his team around international Toni Kroos cannot play in the league against table 17

In addition, Real's deficit in the championship on leaders and city rivals Atlético Madrid, who will play against Valencia CF on Sunday evening, could become even greater if they lose.

Zizou will be represented by assistant coach David Bettoni on Saturday, reported the sports newspapers “AS” and “Mundo Deportivo”.
