has been broken again.
The Belgian player, who has suffered an ordeal with injuries since his arrival at Real Madrid in the summer of 2019, has a new muscle injury in the left anterior rectus, according to the white club, and will miss several more weeks of competition.
The attacker underwent medical tests this Wednesday after feeling some discomfort in morning training.
Hazard, who has just turned 30, has only played six starting games this season in LaLiga - plus two more he entered as a substitute - as a result of injuries.
The winger has not managed to be the player he has seen at Chelsea since his return to Real Madrid.
Last season, before the injury in the Champions League against PSG due to a kick from Meunier, he did leave flashes for several games in a row, but since then he has not been able to have continuity.
The white club, 10 points behind Atlético in the League with one more game played and eliminated from the Cup, will face Atalanta on February 24 in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, so it is very difficult for them to the Belgian player arrives on time and with filming for that match.
The first leg is played on March 16 in Madrid.
In addition to the injury announced on Wednesday, Hazard tore the anterior rectus of his right thigh on November 28 in a league match against Alavés at the Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium.
It was on matchday 11 and he did not reappear in the competition until matchday 16, just 15 minutes on the field against Elche on December 30.
Since his return, in addition to that match, Hazard played a few minutes in the cup competition against Alcoyano, was also a substitute against Celta in the League and played against Osasuna, Alavés and Levante at the start.
Only against the Basque team at home did he intervene in decisive plays: that day he gave Benzema an assist and scored a goal, his third goal of the season (two in the League and one in the Champions League).
The injury at the end of November was very similar to the one that prevented this season from opening against Valladolid on September 30, after having entered the previous day for the first time in a call-up.
The morning before that meeting, an ailment was detected in the same muscle in the same leg.
