Real Madrid management have big concerns over the form of Wesley Sneijder.
Sport says coach Juande Ramos is doing everything he can with his system to accommodate the Dutchman, but he is struggling to refind his touch.
Brazilian Marcelo is now outshining Sneijder, while the return to full fitness of Guti is adding further pressure on the former Ajax man.
Sneijder has missed 13 games this season due to injury and managed to finish only five.
