As Real Madrid enter the home stretch of their season, not much has been said regarding Eden Hazard other than talk regarding his injuries. After his latest surgery, Hazard won’t play a decisive role in the Champions League or La Liga journey. The same might be said of his career at Real Madrid.
Still, he still has very strong support in the Real Madrid camp. President Florentino Perez isn’t ready to give up on the Belgian, despite three disappointing seasons. According to Sport, Perez accompanied Hazard during his surgery as a show of support.
Not to miss
His biggest obstacle to redemption might be the influx of new attackers. Real Madrid’s attempts to bring in Kylian Mbappé and possibly Erling Haaland would significantly limit his chances of getting playing time if Perez is successful. However, if Haaland goes elsewhere, he might have the opportunity to win back his place with Perez’s backing. Moreover, Hazard himself wants to succeed at Madrid.
