Eden Hazard continues to face challenges at Real Madrid. After undergoing rehabilitation following last season, the 29-year-old Belgian was supposed to play his first match of the new season last night, but he won't appear on the field anytime soon. Hazard has been suffering from ankle pain for almost a year. He underwent surgery at the end of winter, but even after that, the player did not recover quickly. He was included in the lineup for today's match against Real Valladolid, but Real Madrid released a statement indicating that the Belgian has suffered a new injury. It is reported that he injured a muscle in his leg and will be out of action for 2 to 4 weeks. Hazard was also called up to the national team camp, but he will have to miss both that and at least three upcoming Real Madrid matches. The record-breaking signing for Real Madrid last season played in 22 matches.
