Real Madrid’s terse tweet announcing another injury to Eden Hazard aroused unusual feelings for the Los Blancos fans.
Zinedine Zidane squad started their 2019-20 league campaign away to Celta Vigo on Saturday. However, the club announced the Belgium international was being assessed following a muscular injury to the anterior part of his right thigh.
This is another setback for the former Chelsea star, who lost large portions of last season through injury and faces a frustrating start to this campaign.
Hazard never knew how to show her best face in the White House. Masterful in Lille, conqueror and mature in Chelsea, he has to reach a new level in his career. But, unexpectedly, Hazard seems to have donned boots of glass, suffering one by one the injuries that had once spared him.
At Lille, at the start of his career, Hazard proudly peddled the status of an iron man, hardly ever absent and chaining the matches at the top without striking a blow.
In Chelsea, the story was the same. In 7 seasons at Stamford Bridge, Hazard has missed only 20 games through injury, an average of just 3 games per season.
But since his triumphant arrival at Madrid airport, Hazard has been racking up the hassles, with hamstrings, ankles and now a muscle. He, the artist who lives for the game, breathes football and hates bench seating, finds himself fired in the stands, a place he abhors above all else.
Hazard netted just one goal across 22 appearances in his debut campaign in Spain, although Madrid ended up winning their first league title in three years.
It is claimed that the Belgian is currently doing specific work to recover his physical condition and come back from an ankle injury but missed trip to Real Sociedad on Monday.
