Despite repeated injuries and a difficult first eighteen months for Real Madrid for Eden Hazard, Zinédine Zidane was keen to reassure fans about the psychological state of the former Chelsea player.

“It hasn't been easy for him so far.

But I can feel it very well mentally, he is training with us again on a very regular basis.

You have to go there patiently, little by little, but he's doing well, ”he said at a press conference on Tuesday, before Granada's reception on Wednesday (7.45pm) for the 15th day of La Liga.
