'Players want to end the season well,' says Zinedine Zidane as Real Madrid prepare to face Eibar

Zidane said, "We're playing a team who are having a very good season and they're coming here to try to get some points."

"What we want to do is continue what we're doing," he added.

Madrid will be without the suspended Marcelo, as well as Marcos Llorente, Dani Carvajal, Thibaut Courtois and Vinicius Junior who are all injured.

Sergio Reguilon will likely return to the starting XI and he is the only fit player, along with Jesus Vallejo, who hasn't had any minutes in Zidane's three games back on the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu bench after being key for Santiago Solari.

Carvajal did train again with the group at the beginning, meaning the coach had 23 players to work with. Of those, 22 were first team players while Moha also joined from Castilla.

On being asked about the spirit of the players, Zidane said, "I'm not in the players' head. But I see what they want to do, what they want for themselves."

"These players have pride and they want to end the season well," he added.

Real Madrid are currently third in the La Liga table, five points behind local rivals Atletico Madrid and 13 points from leaders Barcelona.

Eibar lie 11th and head into Saturday's game off the back of a 2-1 win against Rayo Vallecano.
