Zinedine Zidane insists Eden Hazard will fulfil his potential at Real Madrid despite a slow start since his 100 million euros ($109 million) move from Chelsea in the summer.

Hazard picked up a thigh injury the day before Real's opening La Liga game against Celta Vigo and missed their first three matches of the season.

He has since come off the bench against Levante and started against Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla, but the Belgian is yet to register a goal or an assist for his new team, who face capital city rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

"Listen we know the quality of player we have and we know he is going to deliver," said Zidane in a press conference on Friday.

"Everyone expects a lot from him and he knows that. But we support him and he is with us. As the games go by I am sure he is going to be the player we want him to be in this Real Madrid team."
"Our ideas haven't changed, we know how tough it will be tomorrow against a difficult opponent but they are going to find it tough as well."
