Appearing at the news conference to preview his team's trip to face Valencia in the league on Wednesday, the Madrid coach was questioned about his use of the Portugal star, prompting an unequivocal response.
The Frenchman also flagged the opportunity that Ronaldo will probably be rested sometimes through the final months from the season, as Madrid challenge for domestic and Champions League honours.
As speculation mounts over the way forward for Madrid's fringe players, Zidane welcomed comments from James Rodriguez last week when the Colombia international stated his want to remain in the genuine Madrid.
Finally, the coach would not confirm if Gareth Bale, who produced a goal-scoring return from injury from the bench against Espanyol, will feature at Mestalla.
