Real Madrid coach Zidane says James out of Copa (but not injured?)

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says James Rodriguez won't face Celta Vigo in the Copa.

Zidane, however, admits the midfielder is not 'strictly' injured.

He said, "He's got a problem with the other leg, a strain.

"It's not an injury, but when you have something on one side you can always get the same on the other side. I said that he'd be with us on Monday but in the end he won't be. He also wanted to be with us and he's not happy.

"I hope it's not serious because it's only a strain."
