Zidane puts 18-year-old son on European Super Cup roster

Goalkeeper Luca, the second son of coach Zinedine Zidane, has just been named in Real's squad for the European Super Cup.

Luca is included in the squad due to injury to their best goalkeeper, Keylor Navas. Zidane's second son is likely to be sidelined, while Kiko Casilla has a better chance of starting in the Super Cup.

Zidane has another son playing for Real, midfielder Enzo. In the recent friendly match with PSG, Enzo was on the field.

Besides Navas, Real are also missing a number of stars from their 20-man squad. Among the absent players are Ronaldo, Bale, Pepe and Toni Kroos. While Ronaldo is currently injured, the other three players have only just returned from the Euros and are not yet fit enough to play.

From a starting list of 20 players, Zidane will reduce it to 18 for the match. In attack, Morata will likely compete for a starting position with Benzema.

On the evening of August 9, Real will compete for the European Super Cup with Sevilla in Trondheim, Norway.

List of 20 players preparing for Real's European Super Cup:

Goalkeepers: Casilla, Yanez, Luca;

Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Nacho, Danilo, Marcelo;

Midfielders: James, Casemiro, Kovacic, Modric, Isco, Asensio, M. Llorente;

Forwards: Benzema, Lucas Vazquez, Morata, Mariano.
