Zidane also confirmed that Hazard had been taken to hospital for tests and it is hoped that tomorrow morning there will be the latest news about his injury.

Initial indications would see the Belgium international out of action for at least two weeks, but Zidane declined to comment on whether or not he will miss the El Clasico tie on 18 December.
