Madrid Will Be Careful Play Hazard

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has promised to play safe while playing Eden Hazard. He did not want to risk the Belgian player getting injured again.

Since being bought at Chelsea last summer, Hazard hasn't participated in competitive matches. He suffered a thigh injury that has kept him out since early August.

After a month of recovery, Hazard returned to normal training and this is certainly good news for Madrid in this weekend's match against Levante.

Although Hazard can be played, Zidane does not want to hurry and wait for the development of his condition. Even if Hazard plays, chances are that he won't be a starter because the conditions aren't 100% right.

"We have to slow down with Hazard, he is injured for three weeks, he is back training this week, we all want to see him play, we have seven games in 21 days, we have to be careful with him," he said. Zidane on Soccerway.

"We know the situation, he is ready and that is the most important, I will be responsible for giving him minutes to play and not forcing too hard to try to get the best of himself."

"We will face many matches, not only tomorrow, and we must use our heads with Hazard, so let's calm down, we are all ready, too," Zidane said.
