Former Real Madrid sporting director Pedja Mijatovic believes Eden Hazard faces a make or break season.
Hazard has struggled with injury since joining Real last year from Chelsea.
Mijatovic warned on Cadena SER: "It's going to be a very important season for Hazard and he should be aware of it. Madrid are a great club and they don't have time to wait for anyone, not even Hazard.
"He has to recover well and not be in a hurry."
Mijatovic also praised Vinicius Junior after he proved the matchwinner against Real Valladolid.
"Vinicius must be a starter at Real Madrid. (Zinedine) Zidane has shown that he knows what he is doing, you have to trust him. But Vinicius, at the moment, I think the kid deserves to play as a starter."
