"We've got some good players in our ranks, so we'll make sure that everyone gets the opportunity to play," Zidane added.
The injury update comes just weeks before the start of the Champions League, where Real Madrid face Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain in the group stages. The club have already booked their place in the competition, which will be crucial for them to reach the final next season.
