Reports have floated around for a while now that the club has been afflicted by problems caused by the controversial coach Jose Mourinho, with Casillas one of the main players reported to be against the Portuguese.

“The climate within the squad, as everyone knows, is not good,” Sara Carbonero told La Jugada. “It is common knowledge that the players do not all agree with the Coach.

“There is a division within the squad, but we will have to wait until the end of the season to see if Mourinho leaves.”
