Real Madrid coach Zidane explains gradual Hazard re-introduction

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane admits Eden Hazard isn't yet ready to play a full 90.

Considering he is the most expensive player in Los Blancos' squad, his minutes have been scarce for much of the season.

Against Elche he played just 13 minutes whilst in the match with Celta Vigo he was seen for 16 minutes, although he is expected to play more against Osasuna on Saturday.

"Let's go little by little, I don't know if he's ready for 90 minutes," Zidane explained in his pre-match press conference.

"He is with us and training regularly.

"We'll see what happens tomorrow."
