Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says Eden Hazard won't face Getafe on Thursday.

Hazard has been fouled once every 23 minutes this season, yet the Real Madrid boss is calling for patience with the Belgian.

"He's very good and the opponents know it," Zidane said.

"But there's no intention of hurting any player.

"We have to be calm with Eden.

"He's been off the pitch for a long time and you have to go easy on him.

"He'll be fine in a little while."
