Hazard suffers an injury on the day of the Real Madrid-Valladolid match
Real Madrid striker Eden Hazard's hopes of returning to play today, Wednesday, against Valladolid, have been dashed after suffering a muscle injury on the day of the match in the Spanish Premier League.
Hazard, who returned to training with his colleagues after physical problems, joined Real's squad in preparation for the reception of Valladolid, but the medical report of his club announced today, Wednesday, that he suffers from a muscle injury in the right leg.
The report did not say how long Hazard would be absent, but the Spanish newspaper Marca expected him to be absent for three or four weeks.
He is expected to miss Sunday's league match against Levante, Belgium's friendly against Ivory Coast, and two European Nations League matches against England and Iceland.
The Belgian striker joined Real Madrid from Chelsea last year for 100 million euros ($ 117.13 million), equivalent to the most expensive deal in the club's history.
However, his influence in Spain remains negligible, after suffering two severe knee injuries, only to play 14 matches in the league and score only one goal.
