Real Madrid coach Zidane insists Hazard has had no injury setback

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane insists Eden Hazard has had no injury setback.

It was claimed this week that Hazard had broken down in training.

But Zidane says, “There hasn't been any setback and what we want is for him to be 100% when he returns.

"We're taking things slowly, without rushing things and we know just what an important player he is within the team. We have to be guided by how he feels and ensure that when he comes back he is feeling strong and is 100%.

"We're not going to take any risks at all with his return. He's making good progress and I hope that perhaps next week he'lll be able to join in as normal."
