Real Madrid CHAOS: Marcelo and Isco accused of THIS following Julen Lopetegui departure
REAL MADRID’s chaotic season is showing no signs of slowing up with accusations being thrown at Marcelo and Isco in the wake of Julen Lopetegui’s departure.
Real Madrid are stuck in a rut and Lopetegui, just four months on from his appointment as Zinedine Zidane’s successor, has paid the ultimate price.
The Spaniard threw his country’s World Cup plans into turmoil back in June when it was announced he would be the next Madrid manager - on the even of the Russia showpiece commencing.
His Real Madrid career, though, was short - and not sweet. Los Blancos confirmed his sacking on Monday, 24 hours after the club had been hammered 5-1 by Barcelona at the Nou Camp.
However, Ok Diario director Eduardo Inda has now opened up on the mess at the Bernabeu.
And it is claimed that, despite axing Lopetegui, Real Madrid have concerns over the fitness of both Marcelo and Isco.
He said: "Two players' physical condition worries [the club].
“One of them is Marcelo because they say he is three kilos overweight.
“Isco Alarcon is also worrying them.
“In any case, Marcelo has been discussed but he was the best Real Madrid player in the Clasico.”

Ironically, Marcelo and Isco were both backing Lopetegui prior to his departure.
Madrid are currently on the lookout for a new manager despite installing Santiago Solari as interim boss.
Their pursuit, however, looks to be a tricky one.
They would reportedly love to welcome Jose Mourinho back to the club, despite his struggles at Manchester United.
The Red Devils boss won the La Liga title in 2012, as well as the Copa del Rey the year before.
