Real Madrid coach Zidane talks Hazard, Ramos for El Clasico - plus Mbappe

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says he won't push Eden Hazard over a playing return.

Hazard could be available for Saturday's El Clasico with Barcelona.

Zidane said, “He's better, but we'll see him tomorrow. His return does not depend on the squad or the club, it depends on the feeling of the player. This is very important."

On Sergio Ramos, he added: "Tomorrow he will not play, it is a shame, but I hope he stays here."

The Real coach was also asked about a potential move for PSG striker Kylian Mbappe.

He added: "It is different because we know each other very well. He's not my player and I can't talk about anything. What interests us is tomorrow's game. Then we know that Mbappé is a great player."
