Hazard’s case quite serious declares team Doctor

Belgium’s team doctor has delivered a worrying diagnosis on superstar Eden Hazard, who is once again injured at Real Madrid.

This week Hazard sustained yet another injury – this time in the thigh area – which is set to keep him sidelined for at least six weeks.

Real said in a statement on Wednesday that Hazard had injured a muscle in his left thigh following the day’s training session, which Spanish media said he was unable to complete.

It is the latest is a string of unfortunate injury setbacks which has marred the Belgian’s career at the Bernabeu since sealing his move from Chelsea in 2019. The fee paid was around £90million with the potential to rise to £130m.

Now, Belgian national team doctor Kristof Sas has said the fitness situation is ‘different’ with Hazard, before going on to highlight the main concerns.

He told Belgian publication Nieuwsblad: ‘We are awaiting the details and knowing more, but it is clear that it is worrisome.

‘It’s another relapse, a chronic situation that always goes wrong in the end . First the ankle, then the muscle injuries. It’s all very unpleasant.
