'Benitez has thrown Kroos under the bus'

Former Real Madrid coach Bend Schuster has hit out at Rafael Benitez's treatment of Toni Kroos after the German midfielder was left on the bench against Villarreal.

Kroos was an unused substitute in Madrid's shock 1-0 loss at El Madrigal on Sunday, with Benitez preferring Casemiro alongside James Rodriguez and Luka Modric in midfield.

Benitez was prickly when asked why he left Kroos on the bench, replying: "

He didn't play because Casemiro did."

And Schuster, who coached Madrid in 2007-08, hit out at the under-pressure Spaniard after the game.

"Benitez has thrown Kroos under the bus," Schuster told Onda Cero.

Roberto Soldado's eighth-minute strike was all that separated the two teams as Madrid suffered their third defeat in five La Liga matches.
