Real Madrid midfielder Isco "knows" that he needs to improve his goal and assist record for the Spanish giants, according to Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane.

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has claimed that midfielder Isco "knows" that he needs to improve his effectiveness for the team.

The Spanish international is currently enjoying a long run in the Real Madrid first XI, which has been helped by injuries to the likes of Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema in recent weeks.

The 23-year-old has only scored once in all competitions this season, however, and only managed four assists in the league.

Zidane has insisted that he is "happy with Isco's work", but wants to see more from the midfielder in terms of numbers.

"I'm happy with Isco's work. It's clear that he needs to improve on his goal and assist count, but he's the first who knows," Zidane told reporters.

Real Madrid will welcome capital rivals Atletico Madrid to the Bernabeu in La Liga on Saturday afternoon.
