Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said he does not blame Spain for captain Sergio Ramos's latest injury ahead of the season's run-in.

He came on as an 86th-minute substitute in the World Cup qualifier.

Local media reported Ramos will miss the next month as Real seek to defend their La Liga crown and claw back six points on league leaders Atletico Madrid."We always want Sergio to be fit and available, but now we just have to focus on the players who we've got," Zidane told a news conference ahead of Saturday's visit of 18th-placed Eibar."These things happen in football, the part of the game we don't like. But things happen and you just have to accept them.

"I'd obviously like to have all my players fit, but that's not the case. We've got 10 games to go in La Liga and we need to focus." There was better news for Zidane with the sight of Toni Kroos and Eden Hazard returning to training, however the Frenchman insisted they will not be rushed back into action after muscle problems.

"There's a lot of games coming thick and fast and we won't do anything stupid. We'll see how to manage it."We want to go little by little. If that's three days time, then great, but if it's 10 days then so be it. We're happy he's recovering."
