Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane was forced to put together a makeshift midfield during the week as he took his side to face Cadiz in La Liga.
The Frenchman switched things to a 3-4-3 formation with Marcelo being given a rare start on the left of the four, with Alvaro Odriozola on the opposite flank.
Casemiro was in there but without his usual partners Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, with youngster Antonio Blanco in central midfield instead.
Madrid would comfortably win 3-0.
