Real Madrid’s defender Marcelo has been cut from the squad to face Granada after an argument with Madrid’s manager, Zinedine Zidane.
Marcelo has been a strong force in Los Blancos defensive mechanism and has been used sparingly this campaign, with Ferland Mendy being considered the better option on the left-side of defence for Zidane.

But a dispute between the coach and his player, however, appears to be related to Zidane’s strategy, rather than his continued omittance of the Brazilian veteran according to some reporters.
According to Goal, there was a disagreement during yesterday’s training session over a ‘tactical issue’ in defence. As a result, Marcelo was nowhere to be seen as Real Madrid announced their squad for the upcoming clash with Granada.
It remains to be seen if the cracks in their relationship can be papered over for what remains of the campaign.
