Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane admits losing fullbacks Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Odriozola is tough to take.'

Carvajal has suffered a knee injury in training, while Odriozola has collected a calf setback.

Zidane said, "We're not pleased with what's happened to [Álvaro] Odriozola and [Dani] Carvajal, but we can't go looking for excuses and other players will come in and play. I don't like injuries, but it's something that can happen. We must be patient. When you're a player, being injured is the worst thing".

On Eden Hazard's road to recovery, the coach added: “I'm positive with him. It's a muscle injury he picked up after working really hard to return. He's now doing fine in terms of the injury and let's hope that continues to be the case."
