Spanish giants Real Madrid shocked their fans again with yesterday's announcement - Eden Hazard was injured AGAIN! The Belgian striker has been injured again, which is why he will miss a key part of the season, including tomorrow's return match of the eighth finals of the Champions League against Atalanta. Hazard played in the last 15 minutes of Saturday's rehearsal against Elche (2-1) and was injured again. The Royal Club announced on Monday that the Belgian midfielder has problems with a muscle injury that connects the lumbar spine and the lower body. However, they did not indicate the period of his absence.
"Hazard will not be ready. I want to be positive and I hope it will not be too much of a problem. We want to help him and we hope he will return as soon as possible," Real coach Zinedine Zidane told a news conference. Real bought Hazard in the summer of 2019 for a whopping 115 million euros, but in less than two years he mostly collected injuries instead of goals and assists. Of the possible 5,850 in La Liga, he played in 1484. Hazard could thus join the list of the biggest club failures in history.
