Schuster axes Real Madrid's 'Rocky' Balboa

Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has axed Javier Balboa from his squad for today's clash with Real Mallorca.

Balboa has paid for his training ground clash with Real teammate Pepe, where he exchanged blows with the defender on Friday.

Schuster has decided to punish the young midfielder by leaving him out for today's game. Before today, Balboa had been involved in the previous five squads named by Schuster.

The German has included Pepe in his line-up.
