Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois insists Eden Hazard is setting himself for a big season.

Hazard has yet to live up to expectations at Real Madrid, but Courtois is confident that his compatriot can bring a lot to Los Blancos this year.

"It depends on where the coach puts him," Courtois said.

"In Belgium he plays in 3-4-3 and as an inside player, not as a striker. So, it depends.

"He's doing very well. He's only been training for a week, but I'm sure he can bring a lot to the team.

"We'll have to see when Karim [Benzema] comes back how we can put the team together with Eden.

"These are questions for the coach.

"His injuries are in the past. The other day [Antonio] Rudiger kicked him [in training] and he got up [laughs]".
