Real Madrid have been training ahead their home match against Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga.

Los Blancos will not have any of their 3 first-choice forwards Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale for the Saturday match.

Manager Zinedine Zidane has given Benzema some rest ahead of the Club World Cup in Japan while Bale is still recovering from a foot injury.

However, Zidane didn't give any indication that he would also drop Ronaldo. The Frenchman has instead called up reserve team forward Mariano to join Alvaro Morata and Lucas Vazquez in the attack line.

Real have not lost in 34 consecutive matches which equals a club record. They top the Spanish league, leading second-placed Barcelona by 6 points.
