It has now been two years of Hazard as a Real Madrid player. Two seasons in which, for one reason or another, the Belgian has not been able to perform as he had hoped. Injuries have taken their toll on him, and he starts this season in the infirmary.
There is no hurry. It has already been shown that this does not work with him. For Hazard, forcing is equivalent to a relapse. He returned from the Euros with a muscle injury in his right thigh, which has continued despite the holiday break.
Pre-season has begun for him with individual exercises. He has returned in apparent good physical shape, and that helps that there is no need for him to push the muscles.
He has complied, or so it seems, exactly with the recommendations that Antonio Pintus gave to the squad in order to arrive in an acceptable fitness for the pre-season. The problem is that he has arrived injured, of course.
An injury for which he will take as much time as necessary to overcome and not relapse. It's been two years full of injuries, without being able to shine, and the Belgian wants to vindicate himself. And Madrid want to boast about their signing.
