Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was happy with Eden Hazard's performance for their 3-1 defeat of Eibar.

Hazard impressed before being taken off on the hour mark.

"We knew that he'd lack a bit of rhythm if he played the full game, but he played well for an hour," Zidane said.

"He got a bit of a knock and it was a scare, but that's football.

"But he said he was fine at half time and he was happy about not being scared, despite that knock."

Unlike Hazard, Marco Asensio wasn't given the opportunity to pick up some match sharpness following a lengthy injury.

"Step by step, he's fine and I'm going to use Marco," Zidane said.

"There will be more games and he has to be ready.

"I'm counting on him."
