Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says he's happy to count on Isco.

The midfielder struck twice in victory at Real Betis on Sunday.

"He's an important player. You will concentrate on one player, but he is always working well. He knows where he is and the difficulties, but he works hard and I'm happy with his performance and his goals," said Zidane.

"He is important and I like him."

On Marco Asensio, he added: "I try to explain to the players the situation. I do not speak every day with Marco. He trains well and is available to the team. He works for himself and for the team. He will play minutes and the important thing is that he is ready for that."
