Zinedine Zidane Worried About Real Madrid's Pre-Season Injuries

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has said he's concerned by the club's recent spurt of pre-season injuries after Marco Asensio, Ferland Mendy and Brahim Diaz each went down.

Asensio, 23, suffered the most severe injury and could miss up to nine months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament.

Zidane told reporters: "It worries me and above all it bothers me. Marco's [injury], Ferland's, which is a minor injury, but he won't be able to continue working, and we don't know for how long. These are things that happen, and we will see if he comes back quickly with us.
