‘He (Jovic) is not lost,’ Zidane told MARCA.
‘He played well tonight, but it is true that he has not played a lot so far this season.
‘He is a player that needs to play a lot to play well. There is no problem with him, and he must keep working hard.
‘At the moment the difficulty lies with me as I cannot find a place for him, but he must be ready to play when he is needed.
‘Hopefully he will get more game time in the coming weeks.’
