• Football Zidane's script twists that brought Madrid back to life

"

Eden's return will depend on the sensation of the player

. It is not a decision for Madrid or Belgium, it is their sensation, if he is here to play or not."

The words of

Zinedine Zidane

this afternoon warned of the most important news for

Real Madrid

in the preview of the classic against

Barcelona

: the

absence of Eden Hazard on the squad list

.

Just over an hour later, it was official.

The Belgian footballer, who has been training all week with the rest of his teammates, has not been included in the expedition that this Saturday will face

Koeman's men

at the

Alfredo Di Stéfano

(9:00 p.m.).

Hazard, who seemed close to returning to the pitch for last Tuesday's game against

Liverpool

, appeared as one of the main novelties of the Madrid team in the face of the classic, but

Zidane does not want to force him

.

The French coach has been insisting for several weeks that the player needs to come back when he feels good.

"

The important thing is that he is calm,

" he repeated a few days ago.

The

victory against the 'reds'

in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals has also reassured the club, which, seeing the team's good run, sees no need to force their theoretical star.

Meanwhile, the footballer has been seen happy in training this morning, sharing exercises normally with his teammates, whom he will accompany from the stands against Barcelona.

Neither will Carvajal, Varane and Ramos be on the pitch, so the defense will once again have Lucas, Nacho, Militao and Mendy, with Odriozola and Marcelo as options in case Zidane wants to rotate.

"That Messi stays in Barcelona"

At a press conference,

Zidane

analyzed the classic and stressed that the result will not vary from day to day of the competition: "There are three points, the same as against

Eibar

,

Cádiz

... Atlético is the one with the advantage, The League, whatever happens, we are going to have to play it until the end. There is a lot left. "

The Frenchman hopes that

Messi will

renew with Barcelona because it would be "

good for the League

": "That he stays there in Barcelona is good for the Spanish League. We know the player he is but they are all very good, we will try to counteract his forces as always and get a good game with the ball ".

Asked about

Vinicius

, chosen as the best player of the week in the Champions League, the Frenchman insisted that he should be calm: "You

have to leave him calm too

, that if he is going to be the best, that if so ... He is calm. A lot of noise. but he's focused. "
