Shock in Madrid because of the "glass player" Hazard

Real Madrid said in a statement Monday that its Belgian international striker Eden Hazard suffered a new injury in his right thigh this time during the match against Elche on Saturday, which was his first after an absence of about two months, until the public called him the "glass player" due to his many injuries.


The royal club said in its statement that "after the tests conducted today (Monday) for our player Eden Hazard (...), he was diagnosed with an injury to the large psoas muscle of the right thigh," without specifying the length of his absence, only indicating that he is "waiting for his recovery."


And after playing his first 15 minutes since January in the match in which Real beat Elche 2-1 on Saturday, Hazard did not participate in group training on Monday morning, on the eve of his match against Atalanta on Tuesday, in the second leg of the Champions League final.


French coach Zinedine Zidane confirmed the injury at a press conference on Monday, saying, "Eden will not be in good shape to be with us in tomorrow's game (Tuesday). These are things that I cannot explain. I hope they are not dangerous. He is a player who has not suffered an injury in his career, I cannot." Say nothing else. "


"We are with him, and we are helping him, and we hope that he will come back soon to help us, because we need Eden," he added.


Hazar arrived at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium from Chelsea for 115 million euros in July 2019, but the curse of injuries followed the Belgian, who has only played 14 games this season, 9 of which are essential, and he also missed a match due to his infection with the Corona virus, and he scored only Three goals.


For comparison, Hazard has only missed 21 games during seven seasons with Chelsea, and has missed 50 games in one and a half season with Real, knowing that his contract expires at the end of the current season.


This is a blow to Real Madrid and the Belgian national team alike, as there is a risk that Hazard will not be able to in the last international window at the end of March, before the upcoming European Cup between June 11 and July 11 next.
