While the Red Devils beat Burkina Faso 3-0 in a friendly, captain Eden Hazard had surgery to remove his plate from his right leg. Successful operation, Hazard will now start his recovery and will probably not play again this season.
Eden Hazard was successfully operated on, announced the Real Madrid Tuesday. The winger had the osteosynthesis plate that supported his right fibula removed.
A plaque placed in March 2020, unfortunately following a serious ankle injury provoked by a tackle from Thomas Meunier. In March 2021, a new operation was mentioned but was ultimately not carried out.
This time, the player went well on the pool table. “He underwent successful surgery at Sanitas La Zarzuela University Hospital (in Madrid) for the removal of an osteosynthesis plate from his right fibula. He is now at home to begin his recovery”detailed the Real Madrid in a brief statement.
The club did not specify the period of unavailability ofEden Hazard. But according to the Spanish media, the Red Devil should be out of action between four and five weeks. Which probably means its end of the season.
Since joining Real Madrid in the summer of 2019, Eden Hazard has been diminished by numerous injuries. This season, he has only one goal for two assists with his club.
With the 2022 World Cup in perspective at the end of the year, he hopes to regain his best level, which he has only been able to show occasionally in the merengue jersey.
