Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane calls for patience from Isco?

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has allegedly reassured Isco that he remains part of his first-team plans.

Despite staying at the Bernabeu for the first half of the campaign, Isco has been provided with just 171 minutes in La Liga.

The playmaker has subsequently been linked with a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, who may be interested in a part-exchange deal involving Christian Eriksen.

However, according to El Confidencial, Zidane has told the Spaniard that he intends to hand him a run in the team at some point in the near future.

Isco made his second start of the season on Saturday night as Los Blancos succumbed to a surprise 1-0 defeat at the hands of Mallorca.
