Madrid boss states how he will treat Hazard after injury layoff ahead of clash against Levante

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has said he will not rush Eden Hazard into action, despite the club’s top summer signing being ready to play.

Hazard, who joined Madrid from Chelsea in June for a fee that could reach £130 million, has been sidelined since August 16 with a thigh injury and has yet to make his competitive debut.

Los Blancos host Levante this Saturday and Zidane, speaking at his Friday press conference said: “Regarding Hazard, we have to go little by little.

“He has been injured for three weeks. He was back training this week. We have to go carefully with him. We know what the situation is, he is ready and that’s the most important thing.

“I will give him minutes here and there, not trying to push him too much to get the best out of him. We have seven games in 21 days and we need to use our heads with Hazard.”
