Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti won't consider Cristiano Ronaldo for today's game with Celta Vigo.
Ronaldo is battling a knee problem.
"He won't play tomorrow because he's not 100% fit. We've won plenty of games without him, although he is still a fundamental player for us. We're not going to risk him if he's not 100%. We have to think about winning without him. It is a mutual decision and I prefer not to take risks. Pepe, Varane, Carvajal and Di María won't be playing either.
"We're not thinking ahead to the final of the Champions League, it's just that these players are unavailable. We'll do our best because mathematically we still have a chance of winning the league. Anything can happen in football and tomorrow I'll select a team that will go out to win. That's the goal. Cristiano Ronaldo, above all else, could play if tomorrow were a final, but as it's not we won't be involved."
