Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane admits Eden Hazard is struggling with a long-standing injury complaint.

Hazard has come in for criticism in recent weeks, with some arguing that he has a lack of professionalism, but the Real Madrid boss doesn't agree.

"I don't think so. He can talk, but he wants to play," Zidane stated during Tuesday's pre-match press conference.

"He has a big problem that has bothered him for a long time.

"The season is very long and he wants to be with his team-mates."
