Lassana Diarra was again frozen out by Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho for yesterday's derby victory over Atletico.
The France midfielder was also axed for last week's Champions League draw at AC Milan.
Diarra failed to even make the bench yesterday, with Mourinho preferring teenager Sergio Canales and Esteban Granero in his stead.
Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton are among Premier League clubs monitoring Diarra's situation in Madrid.
