Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says Gareth Bale is out of their clash with Sevilla.

Alongside the Welshman, Raphael Varane is also a definite absentee for Saturday's domestic meeting after picking up a knock in the midweek victory over Borussia Dortmund.

"We'll see if he [Bale] can be fit enough for us in the (Club World Cup) semi-final," Zidane explained in his pre-match press conference.

"He's only played one game with us; he's not going to play on Saturday.

"The idea at this moment is for him to travel with us to the Club World Cup."
