Real Madrid: Gareth Bale, Hazard and others on international duty

Real Madrid are number one on the LaLiga points table after eight games, they do not look like the same team that won three back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles. Zinedine Zidane’s appointment was meant to boost the morale within the Real Madrid dressing room but it does not seem to have gone as planned. Summer arrivals Eden Hazard, Eder Militao, Rodrygo Goes, Luka Jovic and Ferland Mendy are yet to completely prove their worth in the white and gold jersey. Zidane will welcome the international break and will hope that none of his players on international duty fall prey to an unforeseen injury while playing for their respective countries.
