Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard has picked up another muscle injury and has been ruled out of the game against Atalanta on Tuesday night. He only played for about 15 minutes in La Liga against Elche in a thrilling victory. It was his first match since the end of January and it was also like a test for him to see his progress and to put more minutes on his legs. But it seems like he failed again. The Belgian has struggled with injury all season.
Real claimed that he has picked up another problem, which will certainly keep him out of the squad list for the Champions League clash. The club have confirmed a right psoas injury, which could keep him out for 4-6 weeks...
In the press conference, Zidane said: "He is not in a condition to be with us. We will release something now shortly and I cannot tell you more.
"These are things that I cannot explain to you. I hope it is little because you have to be positive. He is a player who has never been injured so often in his career and this is a new situation for him. We are with him and we want him to be well.
He added: "We're trying to find out what's happening. We've spoken about pre-season, about the number of games and also about things up here in the head, which influences a lot."
Hazard has been struggling very often with injuries since when he arrived on Madrid. It has been a relatively long time and he has not expressed what he is able to do because of his problems with the physical form. A player like him can give to the squad a set of qualities that are hard to find. In this crucial moment when La Liga and Champions League are open battles and the race is becoming tougher and tougher his absences will certainly affect the situation, but at this moment the only thing that the teammates and fans can do is wait and hope for things to get better even why it is quite easy to lose the patience...
Karim Benzema added: “He hasn't had much luck since arriving in Madrid. That makes me sad. He is injured, but hopefully he will recover quickly because we need him."
