Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has said the situation between coach Santiago Solari and Isco is ‘complicated’ for the club.

Since Solari’s appointment as Los Blancos boss, Isco has fallen out of favour and has yet to start a league match under the Argentine. Against Leganes on Wednesday, the Spanish playmaker was again left out of the starting XI.

Speaking after winning a prize at the Siete Estrellas sports gala on Friday, Ramos said it’s a difficult situation for Isco.

“Not every situation is reconcilable, and this is a complicated situation,” Ramos told AS.

“At Real Madrid everything gets magnified, but every player wants to play and it is up to the Coach to select the players, it is not an easy job.

“The press are constantly writing about us, talking about us, creating rumours, so we need to do our best to accompany this.

“There is always talk of a potential crisis at Real Madrid if we do not win, and that is partly the reason we are so driven to win matches.

“We had a team meeting the other day and that is what we had to do, we will not shy away from this situation.”
