Belgian international striker Eden Hazard injured himself again, in his right groin this time, Real Madrid informed in a statement on Monday.

"After the examinations carried out today (Monday) to our player Eden Hazard, (...) a muscle injury to the right psoas was diagnosed to him", indicated Real in his press release released Monday at the beginning of the afternoon .

50 games missed since his arrival

The club did not specify the duration of the Belgian international's absence, merely declaring that he remains "awaiting his development".

After playing his first 15 minutes since January Saturday against Elche at the end of the match (2-1), Hazard did not take part in collective training on Monday morning, on the eve of the knockout stages of the Champions League against Atalanta Bergamo on Tuesday, and Zinédine Zidane confirmed his new injury at a press conference on Monday at noon.

“Eden will not be in condition to be with us for the match tomorrow (Tuesday).

These are things I cannot explain.

I hope it won't be a big deal.

He is a player who had not had an injury in his career, I cannot tell you anything more ... We are with him, we are helping him, and we hope he will come back soon to help us, because we need Eden ”, encouraged Zidane on Monday.

"Things I can't explain"

Arriving in Madrid in the summer of 2019 from Chelsea in exchange for 115 million euros, Hazard cannot get out of this tunnel of injuries that have hit him since his arrival.

He has only played 14 matches this season, including only 9 as a starter, for 3 small goals scored.

Positive for Covid-19 in November, Hazard has also suffered five injuries this season to the ankles and legs, and now to the psoas.

While he had only missed 21 matches in seven seasons at Chelsea, Hazard has already missed 50 in one and a half at Real.
