Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is not optimistic about Eden Hazard's injury during the 1-0 defeat by Levante in La Liga, on Saturday, and before playing two upcoming matches.
Hazard was out of action for about three months due to an ankle injury, and he was only playing his second match since returning, but he came out injured in the second half and put snow on his right foot and seemed to feel pain.
"I think he suffered a bruise at the same place as the previous injury and it does not look good," Zaidan told reporters.
Hazard shares the price of the most expensive deal in Real's history when he joined for 100 million euros ($ 108.43 million) from Chelsea last June, but he missed the season due to a muscle problem before he suffered an ankle injury against Paris Saint-Germain on November 26. The second.
Real, the 13-time European champion, will play England's Manchester City next Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League final in Santiago Bernabeu, before he hosts Barcelona in a local summit match next Sunday.
Real's sudden defeat against Levante came after a disappointing 2-2 draw at home with Celta Vigo in the last round, to lose five points in two games and give up the top for Barcelona, who crushed Eibar 5-0.
Before confronting Celta, Real had won five consecutive league games.
"We wasted five points in two games, but that's how it went. We performed in the first half wonderfully, but we were unable to score while the opponent scored a goal from the first opportunity and this shocked us," Zidan said.
"This football is really tough, but I don't think what happened was due to us because the team did their best, now we have to raise our heads high and realize what happened and think about the next two games," the French coach added.
