MADRID, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane expressed his annoyance with his side's growing injury problems after a setback to defender Dani Carvajal in Sunday's 2-0 La Liga win over Valencia left him with eight stricken players at a crucial stage of the season. "I don't understand it, we've had so many (injuries) and I'm worried," Zidane said after an otherwise comfortable home win over Valencia as Real returned to second in the standings, five points behind Atletico Madrid who have two games in hand. "Carvajal suffered a relapse of the previous injury and I really feel for him because he was feeling good and playing well and he's an important player for us. The schedule is what it is and we did not have a normal pre-season and we've had many injuries but all we can do is keep going," he said. "I feel for every player who has got injured, it's the worst thing about being a coach."
