La Liga: Hazard Returns To Real Madrid Squad vs Granada

Eden Hazard has been given the medical green light ahead of Wednesday clash between Real Madrid and Granada in the La Liga Santander fixture as the defending champions continue their title defense.

AllNews understands that Hazard has suffered not fewer than 8 injuries since moving from Chelsea to Real Madrid in 2019 as injury has continued to plague the Belgian skipper.

In the 2020-21 season, he made a return from both COVID-19 and severe bruise to suffer a relapse against Deportivo Alaves in a 2-1 defeat back in November.

The 29-year old winger has now returned again into the squad though, Zidane would ease his integration into the squad to prevent another case of relapse but he has been included in the 24-man squad for the match against Granada.

Due to injury, he has been limited to two goals evenly shared in La Liga and UEFA Champions League.

He would need to earn his place in the squad again and quickly as the French coach has started to lose interest and confidence in him.

Zidane said recently that "It is a complicated situation for Eden. He has never been injured in his career and now has more misfortunes. He will surely come back stronger. We look forward to seeing him again."

Real Madrid would want to keep pace with Atletico Madrid as the top of the La Liga continues to shape into its traditional leaders as Barcelona trails behind.
