Zidane and Hazard during Levante-Real Madrid, February 22, 2020. - JOSE JORDAN / AFP

Zinedine Zidane is very annoyed. The Real Madrid coach admitted on Tuesday that he did not know if Eden Hazard, again injured, will be able to replay this season. "I don't know what's going to happen. I hope it will resume, but I do not know, "said Zidane at a press conference, on the eve of receiving Manchester City in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

"I don't know if it will have to go through an operation, it's not my competence. What I know is that he is not happy, it is not positive for him, regretted Zizou. What he likes is playing football, and there he will not be able to play. All I can tell you is what I see in his eyes. "

Almost white season

This relapse is a big blow for the player as for the club. Bought more than 100 million euros last summer, the former Chelsea will, whatever happens, achieve an almost white season. He has so far only appeared 15 times in Real's jersey.

Returning to competition just two weeks ago after a "microfracture" in the malleolus of the right ankle, Hazard seemed to be the victim of a "blow", according to his trainer, Saturday on the ground of Levante. The next day, Sunday, Real Madrid announced that a "crack in the right distal fibula" was diagnosed in the player, almost in the same place as his previous injury.

"I only hope one thing: that when he returns, he returns well. It is what he wants, he and what we want, us. But for the moment, yes, it's a difficult time for him, ”agreed the Madrid technician.
