Madrid, March 30 (IANS) Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos and Isco Alarcon were absent on Friday from the final training session before a La Liga clash with Las Palmas, which they are due to miss due to injuries, coach Zinedine Zidane said.

Ramos, who just turned 32, did not train with the rest of his teammates due to discomfort acquired during his international stint, while Isco returned with back pain, reports Efe.

The other internationals joined the group training led by Zidane, who was expected to rest some regular starters such as Keylor Navas and Cristiano Ronaldo in Saturday’s game against Las Palmas, with an eye on the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Juventus in Turin.

Real Madrid holds third spot in the La Liga table with 60 points, 15 behind leader Barcelona with nine matches to go.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
