Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has backed Luka Jovic to come good at the Santiago Bernabeu after he failed to get on the scoresheet in Los Blancos' 4-0 Copa del Rey win over Real Zaragoza on Wednesday.

Jovic has scored just once since his arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer for an initial €65 million.

Per Marca's J.L. Calderon, Zidane said:

"I'd like him to score, but he'll get there if he keeps working.

"He's young, he's just arrived, and the good thing is that he's in a team where there are a lot of big players and he has to adapt.
