After playing against Elche, he aimed for Atalanta in the Champions League, but Madrid confirmed that he suffered a new muscle injury. He falls off the list against the Italians, to which Marcelo returns
Real Madrid will not be able to count on Eden Hazard against Atalanta in tomorrow's Champions League home game. The Belgian playmaker had finally returned to the pitch against Elche, last weekend, after being sidelined for months, and it was expected that he would continue to increase his prominence in the UCL. However, it will not be like that.
Los Blancos' coach Zinedine Zidane confirmed that Hazard is injured again, although he did not give any further details.
"He will not be able to be with us in this game, but as I am optimistic, I hope it's just a little thing."
Hazard's absence disrupts Zizou's plans again. The Frenchman asked for "patience" after the Belgian's return against Elche but now he will have to decide whether to recover Asensio, give continuity to Vinicius or bet from the beginning on Rodrygo, who revolutionized the white attack at 2-1 against Elche. Benzema is the only one immovable.
Later, Real Madrid announced Hazard's injury through an official statement:
"After the tests performed today on our player Eden Hazard by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury. Pending evolution. "
