Real Madrid announced that the Belgian player Eden Hazard will have to undergo surgery “in the next few days” for the removal “of the osteosynthesis plate in his right fibula ”, who underwent surgery after being injured at the end of February 2020 in the City of Valencia.

“Our player Eden Hazard will be operated on in the next few days to remove the osteosynthesis plate in his right fibula”, Real Madrid announced this Friday after the Belgian’s absence from training.

The estimated time of loss will be between four and five weeks, according to sources from the club, who do not give Hazard’s season for lost. The intervention had to be faced by the Belgian soccer player, who, since the harsh entry of his compatriot Thomas Meunier, in a ‘Champions’ duel against PSG on 14 November 2019, has suffered an unexpected turn in his career.

Until that day, Hazard had only faced one serious injury in his entire sports career, a fracture in his right ankle in 100. He was the affected area on that fateful night of the Champions League at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium and, since then, he has not returned to exhibit the football that made him one of the best players in the world. More than fifteen injuries, with continuous muscular problems derived from the main ailment, and half of the matches without being able to participate. When he did, he was always afraid of not being one hundred percent because of some inconvenience he wants to put an end to.

On his way to closing his third season at Real Madrid, Hazard has barely played 65 matches and has contributed six goals. This season he quickly lost his place in his pulse with the Brazilian Vinícius Junior and has never found his place in the team, without continuity from Carlo Ancelotti who trusts other players and has been relegated to a secondary role.

In Hazard’s mind is the World Cup in Qatar that starts in November this year . Referent of a unique generation of Belgium, the player did not want to delay his intervention any longer, which he already tried to do on one occasion last season but found the distrust of the Madrid club.

His goal for him is none other than to eliminate the pain and return to being the player he was next season. However, his continuity at Real Madrid is not certain and the club had in mind to find a way out, leave free a high record for the arrival of new stars, but a new surgical intervention puts a stop to everything. Hazard will undergo surgery in the next few hours in which everyone wants to be the end of his ordeal.
