Hazard, surprise absentee: he did not train with the rest of the group

Hazard is once again out of a training session. The Belgian has been having injury problems practically all the time since he arrived at Real Madrid from Chelsea and, when it seemed like he was going to be getting back to the level he was showing in England, he once again missed training on Tuesday.

He does not appear in any of the pictures Real Madrid published on social media. His name is not mentioned in the text written on the club's website. It only refers to five players with fitness problems: Sergio Ramos, Lucas Vázquez, Dani Carvajal, Rodrygo and Fede Valverde.

'Goal' says that the reason why Eden was not at Valdebebas is because the coaching staff want to be careful over his fitness. There is no reason to be alarmed, but it would not be surprising if he did not appear in training on Wednesday either and then return on Thursday. 

The main thing is that Hazard does not suffer a relapse of his injury. The match against Huesca will take place on Saturday and if Zidane manages to look after the Belgian, he could maybe include him in the squadd. In any case, it does not seem like he has much chance of playing, at least not the whole game.
