Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is facing a mini locker room revolt.

Diario Gol says the Real squad's young Spanish contingent are fed up with Zidane's selection policy. The feeling is the coach favours big name foreigners over the locals, no matter their form in training or in games.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, Marcelo and Karim Benzema are all struggling to deliver this season as Real continue to stumble in the LaLiga.

Marco Asensio, Dani Ceballos and Theo Hernández are unhappy at not being given a chance by Zidane to prove themselves a better alternative.

Zidane, it is said, does not want to create problems with his senior players, though now is facing a man-management problem with a clique of young players in his squad.
