Real Madrid coach Zidane: Marcelo will fulfill his obligations - and face Chelsea

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane insists Marcelo will be available for the clash at Chelsea next week.

It was suggested Marcelo would be out of the second-leg of their Champions League semifinal as he's been assigned to a polling station for local Madrid elections at the beginning of the week.

But Zidane, ahead of facing Osasuna, said: "Marcelo will fulfill his obligations but on Wednesday he will be with us."

The Frenchman also declared Sergio Ramos is fit for both games in the coming week.

He added: "Sergio Ramos already trains with us. That is the good news. He is ready to be with us."
