‘Hazard Is Feeling Pain Again’, Zidane Laments Belgian’s Injury Woes
Jul 4, 2020
Zinedine Zidane hopes Eden Hazard will play again this season but has confirmed the Belgian is feeling pain again in his troublesome right ankle.
Hazard will miss Real Madrid's game away at Athletic Bilbao in La Liga on Sunday, when Zidane's team could extend their four-point lead over Barcelona, who face in-form Villarreal.
After undergoing surgery on his right ankle in March, Hazard was able to use the three-month suspension to recover.
Yet he was forced off early against Espanyol last weekend after taking a knock to the same ankle and then sat out Madrid's win over Getafe on Thursday.
"I hope so," Zidane said, when asked if Hazard will play again this season. "Eden has been having trouble these last few days. We don't want to risk anything.
"Hopefully it's minor, we hope we can see Eden with us before the end of the season. It's day-by-day, we know it was just a big hit, nothing more."
Hazard has endured an injury-plagued first season since joining Real Madrid from Chelsea for 100 million euros last year.
