Real Madrid coach Zidane says Hazard won't face Villarreal

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says Eden Hazard won't face Villarreal today.

Hazard has suffered another setback and he won't be available to Zidane for Real Madrid's crucial Matchday 38 fixture against Villarreal, the coach himself revealed.

Zidane explained that Los Blancos won't take any risks with the player and that he won't be in the squad for the match on Saturday.

"He has something and, although it's not much, we don't want to risk anything," Zidane said of the Belgian in his pre-match press conference.

"So, he won't be available tomorrow."

Sergio Ramos, on the other hand, will be in the squad. Zidane confirmed this, although he wouldn't say if the captain would make it into the starting line-up.
