Ahead of Real Madrid’s upcoming La Liga match, Zinedine Zidane wanted to give an update on Eden Hazard’s injury recovery on Saturday.
Eden Hazard got injured again with Real Madrid a few weeks ago after finally starting to feel like he was on the mend. Initially, we believed he was having more ankle problems but it turns out he was suffering from muscular issues. After another recovery process, we could finally see Eden Hazard training next to his teammates throughout the past week.
However, Zinedine Zidane wants to take his time with the star in order to avoid any more physical problems. During today’s press conference ahead of Real Madrid’s upcoming La Liga match, Zidane gave his update on Eden Hazard’s fitness. Needless to say, he won’t be part of the squad that made the trip to Eibar for Sunday’s match.
Zidane won’t push Hazard to play soon.
According to Real Madrid’s official website, this is what Zidane had to say about Hazard: “He’s doing well and is virtually fully recovered. He’s not quite ready to play yet, but he’s training well with the team and I hope that it’s not long before he’s back and playing with the team. I won’t be changing anything. The important thing is that Eden recovers properly. It’s a shame. He’s had to endure the tough times that come with player injuries.
“Never before had he had the injury he’s had here at Madrid, he’s always played on a regular basis. He now has to accept this. But we’re in good form and what we want is that when he comes back that it be for good. We’ve got to keep calm. We need him, we want him in the team, but we don’t want to do anything stupid and bring him back too soon and then something else happens.”
