Real Madrid coach Zidane delighted with Casilla form

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is delighted with the form of Kiko Casilla.

The goalkeeper has stepped in as Keylor Navas continues to work his way back from a summer operation.

“He's a keeper who always wants to train and learn from Keylor," said Zidane.

"There's a good relationship between the three and that helps them progress. I like that he's not afraid; if he has to play with his feet he does, if he has to come off of his line he will. All of his teammates are confident in him and his coach too."

On Keylor, the Frenchman added: “He's coming along well and improving every day. Every day he's closer. I can't give you a date. He's had a great training session today. It depends on the doctors and how he feels. I don't know when it will be. He's almost ready to be with us."
