Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho says he continues to plan without a striker for the remainder of the season.
Mourinho appears to accept he won't get a new attacking season this month.
"I have been working on tactics without a centre-forward," explained the former Inter coach. "I arrive early, stay late and work on what I must work on. It's the typical life of a coach.
"Everything depends on winning more or less and playing better or worse. I always try to improve, which is what I ask of my players as well. I want them to give it their all and to be good professionals like me."
