Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is hoping Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo will play in the club's last two La Liga games in order to reach the Champions League final in peak condition.

Benzema missed Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Manchester City, which secured Madrid's place in the Milan final against rival Atletico, while Ronaldo played having sat out the first leg with a thigh injury.

But Zidane suggested both will be available to face Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.

"Benzema will be with us, he is ready to play," he said. "I am not sure how [whether he starts or is on the bench], it depends on how he feels.

"We aren't thinking about the final, we are thinking about our remaining games in the league. When we reach May 14 [the final La Liga game] we will have time to prepare for the final."

Zidane suggested Ronaldo will not be given any time off either.
