The guest team is now at the limit, with only two first team players expected to be on the bench. Meanwhile, the rest of the players are young.
Zidane's team had already weakened in January when both Luka Jovic and Martin Odecaard were allowed to leave in the form of borrowing.
On January 14th, Los Blankos appointed a team of 22 players for Supercopa de Espana in Andalusia.
At the time, Danny Carweal and Rodrygo were a lack of injuries, while Jovic borrowed from Eintracht Frankfurt.
During the Supercope, Zidane lost Captain Sergio Ramos to an injury that has kept him out of action since then.
On January 22, Fede Valverde suffered a muscle injury. Five days later, Odecaard's appearance in Arsenal was formalised, and Lucas Vazquez also suffered an injury.
Three days after that, Nacho came up positive for Coronavirus, though he returned in time to face Himescan on Saturday afternoon.
On January 30, Eder Militao received a suspension for the red card against Levante, while the muscular damage of Eden Hazard was discovered four days later.
Then, if things did not get too bad, Isco withdrew from the team because of another injury.
All this allows Zidane to be able to name just six substitutes.
If there are no surprises, the bench will consist of Marcelo, Mariano, Victor Chust and Marvin Park, plus goalkeeper Andriy Lon and Diego Altube.
