Real Madrid coach Zidane wants more of their youngsters leave on-loan

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane admits he wants to see more of their youngsters leave on-loan.

Zidane has turned to the club's academy this season as they've battled through an injury crisis.

He said, "In order for a player to establish themselves they have to play and that's difficult when there are so many players. That's why many of them end up going out on loan, they perform well and then get the chance to come back.

"There are many examples at Real Madrid of players who followed that route. That's what we want our academy players to go and do. They're young and the important thing is that one day they'lll get to play in the top flight. To then actually play for Madrid is far tougher, but it does happen."
