Real Madrid ace Ronaldo worried about squad depth; questions Hakimi, Ceballos selection

Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo has questioned the depth of their squad.

Diario Gol says Ronaldo met with Real coach Zinedine Zidane before they broke up for international week.

The coach wanted to discuss Ronaldo's form and his goalscoring struggles. He had admitted the Real No7 was "unhappy" after victory over Espanyol.

However, Ronaldo expressed his concern over the squad's depth and questioned the quality of teenage fullback Achraf Hakimi, who played in Sunday's win.

It's claimed Ronaldo told Zidane that "we're playing with ten players" during the meeting. The Portuguese is also no big fan of Dani Ceballos, who arrived this summer from Real Betis.
