Keylor Navas is losing the battle against Kiko Casilla at Madrid

The Costa Rican stopper seems to be having trouble coming back from injury 

Keylor Navas, Real Madrid's Costa Rican goalkeeper, seems to have lost the battle against Kiko Casilla to play in goal for the club. He has not recovered yet from his injury that has hampered him since the start of the season and there is a certain mystery over his recovery process. 

Some information says Navas will be ready to return against Las Palmas this weekend, other sources say they don't know when he will be back. 

For the moment the position is Casilla's to lose. Zinedine Zidane has confidence in him, but is conscious of the pressure to play Navas. But to take him out of the team now would not be just. His performances have been good, he has kept two clean sheets and let in just three goals in four games.
