Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa has stated that Iker Casillas has responded well to being dropped for his side's 3-2 loss to Malaga before the winter break.
Coach Jose Mourinho elected to field rookie keeper Antonio Adan for the trip to La Rosaleda in December, but the former Liverpool man says that time on the bench is inevitable at some point.
"Casillas has had exemplary behaviour," he told reporters.
