Casillas has now recovered from injury and cracked hands are full training session. He also had been predicted to enter the squad for the match at home to Zaragoza on Sunday (31/03/2013).
However, Casillas was not going to be brought to Zaragoza. 31-year-old goalkeeper was not yet ready to perform in a competitive match.
"He has not been at a competitive level and he will not be called, but it's true he is training 100 per cent and that's good for everyone," said Madrid assistant coach, Aitor Karanka, as quoted by Football Espana.
"When he's 100 percent ready to perform competitively, then he will be called. Iker In this case, because he was a goalkeeper, it gets more specific," he said.
Madrid squad to face Zaragoza:
Diego Lopez, Adan, Jesus, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao, Carvalho, Marcelo, Arbeloa, Albiol, Khedira, Kaka, Ozil, Alonso, Essien, Modric, Callejon, Di Maria, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Higuain
