In real Madrid, Injuries begin to take their toll for this team. Recently, Gareth Bale was detected with a small injury in which it places Real Madrid with 5 players out because of injuries. Casemiro, Sergio Ramos, Luke Modric, Toni Kroos have all missed a significant number of matches due to long-term injuries. Therefore it gives James Rodriguez the chance to shine with Real Madrid. It could be the player’s final chance at “Los Blancos”, and he’ll have to make the most of it if anything is going to change for the talented, inconsistent and catch-22 of a situation that James Rodriguez has found himself in.

It has been said that the coach and James have not have the greatest connection.James Rodriguez has become the third-least used player under Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid and their relationship is severely weakening.Communication between Rodriguez and Zidane has hit an all-time low with the Frenchman failing to see a big enough change in the former Monaco star’s application in training with Real Madrid’s No. 10 downhearted at the lack of change in the boss’ views of him. Rodriguez didn’t feature in the Champions League final victory over Atletico Madrid in summer, and Zidane promised to remedy the situation. His talent is undoubted and, should he leave Spain, he would be unlikely to find the space to perform at his highest levels in other top European leagues.
