Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho says Nuri Sahin needs to show more to get back into his squad.

Sahin's absence has upset his Turkish fans after he returned to the national team last week.

Mourinho said: "No offence, but Real Madrid is a much better team than the Turkish national side. Club sides are better than national teams and it's easier to play regularly for your country's team than for your club because the teams are stronger.

"It's great news for us that Sahin did well and he can do even more if he continues to have a great preseason and to grow with the team. We're in no condition to kid around and use players who, in my opinion, aren't as productive as others right now."
