NOBODY can say Zinedine Zidane ducked the issue when he was asked to explain a mysterious five-minute disappearance by skipper Sergio Ramos during Real Madrid's 2-1 win at Eibar today.
Los Blancos chief Zidane said: "He st himself a little bit. I think Sergio had to take a st. He went to the toilet and returned in a minute."

Sergio Ramos might have thought he was playing for Loos Blancos when he suddenly needed to go off for a toilet break today
Third-placed Real were toiling at 1-1 and had already used all three substitutes against their mid-table hosts when Ramos went off in the 73rd minute.
The Spain defender briefly spoke to referee Jose Montero before going down the tunnel.
And he was so long away that a Real official had to explain his absence.
Ramos then returned, though, and carried on as if there had been no problem.
