Isco not included in Madrid's squad for Bayern second leg

A sprained shoulder sees Isco missing from Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid squad to face Bayern Munich - but Nacho could be fit to play on Tuesday.

Madrid, May 1: Isco will miss Real Madrid's Champions League clash with Bayern Munich on Tuesday (May 1) after failing to recover from a sprained shoulder in time.

The Spain midfielder suffered the injury during the first leg of the semi-final on German soil, leading to him being substituted at the halfway stage of his side's 2-1 win.

Despite training with the squad on Monday (April 30), Isco's name does not feature in Zinedine Zidane's squad for the return fixture at the Santiago Bernabeu.

However, Nacho Fernandez - who has missed the past month of action due a thigh problem - is included.

The defender's return would be timely too, considering the reigning European champions are without regular right-back Dani Carvajal due to a hamstring strain.

Having dropped in to defence to cover for Carvajal at the Allianz Arena, winger Lucas Vazquez could once again be asked to fill the role in the Spanish capital.
