Eden Hazard
will miss the next month of competition.
The Belgian has suffered a new injury that will force him to be off the pitch in a vital month for
Real Madrid
.
During training sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday, the former
Chelsea player
felt discomfort in the rectus-anterior area of his left leg, and finally the medical tests he has undergone today have resulted in the worst of news .
Despite the fact that January had been a terrible month for Madrid, with losses in the Spanish
Super Cup
, the
Copa del Rey
and the
Santander League
, Hazard had managed to return regularly to
Zinedine Zidane's
line-ups
.
He had had minutes in the six games that the white team played in the first month of the year and had even linked titles in Vitoria, where he scored a goal, and against Levante in
Valdebebas
.
Of course, in none of the games played was he on the field for
more than 70 minutes
.
The 67 against Athletic in Malaga, his record.
Zidane was taking care of him
, no matter how complicated the games got.
The medical team and the coach established the game limit for the Belgian in just over an hour, and he seemed to recover his form little by little.
In the Super Cup he had an excellent start to the meeting, in Vitoria he had his best performance, and despite the defeat against Levante, he appeared as part of the starting trident for February, along with
Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio.
From Meunier's entry to muscle problems
After the game this past Saturday, he was already touching seven consecutive games with minutes, his maximum during the 2019-2020 season before
Meunier
crossed his path in that
Real Madrid-PSG
of November 2019 that changed his season.
The entry of his compatriot caused him a complicated ankle injury that made him low at various stages of the season.
He returned in time for the post-confinement League and for the
Champions League
return
against Manchester City
, but he was not at his best.
This course, his
ankle problems seem forgotten
, but the
muscular discomfort
has appeared
.
Hazard missed the start of the season with a
muscle injury to his right leg
.
Five matches.
He returned, started against Inter and tested positive for coronavirus right in the national team break.
He linked the meetings of San Siro and Villarreal, and when he regained his form, a muscle injury in the rectus-anterior of the right thigh.
One month off until his return to Elche at the end of December.
Target, Atalanta
Now, with the
same injury but in his left leg
, Hazard will not play against
Huesca, Getafe, Valencia, Valladolid, Atalanta
(first leg of the Champions League round of 16 in Italy) and Real Sociedad.
He will complete a month of rehabilitation just in the week before the Madrid derby against Atlético de Madrid (March 7).
And on a more distant and realistic horizon, he will set his goal on March 16, the return of the round of 16 against Atalanta.
He
has
currently
missed 43 games due to injury
(50 if he does not play Atlético), 23 more than he saw on television during his seven-year stint at Chelsea.
