James benched but Real Madrid coach Zidane says...

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane insists James Rodriguez "is staying".

James started victory over Celta Vigo on the bench yesterday.

But Zidane said: “He looked good to me and that wasn't easy in a game like this. He had a chance to score. He's staying."

"That's what substitutes are there for, to improve the team.

"The players grew towards the end and that is what is important."
