Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane insists son Luca Zidane is part of the squad on merit.

It's been suggested the goalkeeper will be promoted to deputy behind Thibaut Courtois next season with Keylor Navas to move on.

Zidane said, "We're all part of the game and you've got to accept what people say. The things that are being said aren't fair and I'm not saying that because he's my son but because he's a player who came through the trials and has been playing for many years.

"He's proved that he's a top goalkeeper. Next season things will be clear and that goes for him too. I haven't asked anything of the club, I haven't asked that he be our No.2. That decision will be made, he's a member of the squad and it just happens that he's my son and that gets people talking."
