And the defending LaLiga champions have confirmed another injury after he missed out on the team’s training session on Tuesday.

Eden Hazard injury update: Real Madrid confirm muscle injury 

Hazard racked up rumours of an injury after El Chiringuito reported his absence from training on Tuesday. The former Chelsea man had returned to complete fitness a couple of weeks back only.

Real Madrid released an official state confirming the Eden Hazard injury reports. “Following tests carried out today on our player, Eden Hazard, by Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the rectus femoris of his left leg.

Hazard return on the cards in next four weeks?

Although the club have not mentioned any stipulated time scale for Hazard’s return to training, some reports do provide some updates. According to a report by HLN Sport, the 30-year-old Belgium skipper will have to sit out on the sidelines for at least the next four weeks.

This isn’t the first instance of Hazard’s injury. Ever since his famous move to the Spanish capital in 2019, he has missed out on 43 games across all competitions, with the numbers set to surge in the coming days. Ironically, he stood out as one of the fittest players at Stamford Bridge, having missed out on just 20 games during his seven-season stint.

The former Chelsea winger has netted four goals only, which is the least he has scored for any other club previously. Meanwhile, he is all set to miss out on the clash against Huesca on Saturday.
