Finnish striker Eero Markkanen has mocked Real Madrid Castilla coach Zinedine Zidane after he was dumped last week.

Zidane's team are reported to have released Markkanen due to him reporting for pre-season training a massive 18kgs overweight.

Markkanen has hit back at the claims with good humour and class, tweeting a blown-up picture of himself in response:
