Javier Hernandez admits he has hit "rock bottom" at Real Madrid

Javier Hernandez has admitted his confidence is at an all-time low after struggling to make appearances while on loan at Real Madrid.

The Mexican forward joined the European champions on loan from Manchester United last summer but has started just one league match for them all season.

Having not scored since October last year it seems unlikely the 26-year-old will be back in the side any time soon, and Hernandez revealed he is unhappy in the Spanish capital.

"My situation is frustrating. I participate, give my all in training, but as far as as for playing in matches, the opportunities are minimal," Hernandez told Fox Sports. "I belong to a team, but am not part of the important bit, the actual games.

"Sometimes my confidence is right down on the ground, even though I am trying for it to be up there, with the help of the people who are always at my side and who support me."

He added: "The most important thing is to get chances, and to feel that they believe in you. Whenever they have entrusted me to do something it comes out positively, but I've been through two rather frustrating years.

"There need to be people who believe in me, at least so I can prove if I am any good or not."
