Real Madrid coach Zidane pleased with Militao form

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is delighted calling on Eder Militao.

The Brazilian has stepped up in the absence of Raphael Varane and was outstanding at Champions League opponents Liverpool in midweek.

Zidane enthused: "He's committed and has performed well in recent weeks. All of the players want more game time and have seen that he's ready and he's done well."

Zidane was also keen to defend French coaching before Sunday's game with Getafe.

He added: "Coach education is really good in France and I don't agree that there's a lack of quality, not at all."
