"The injuries aren't Hazard's fault"

The umpteenth injury to Eden Hazard at Real Madrid has the Los Blancos fans concerned. Whenever he starts to leave details of his huge class, the Belgian footballer ends up relapsing.

That's why Thomas Vermaelen has wanted to defend him in an interview with 'Goal'. For his compatriot and national side teammate, it isn't Hazard's fault.

"Right away, everyone runs to say that he has been injured and that he has a tendency to get injured often. I think it was just a blow to the ankle and it's not his fault. It is not too serious", he explained.

"I am clear that he is a world class player. He will come back because he is someone with a very positive mentality. When he comes back and plays his football, everyone will see his quality", the Belgian continued.

The Vissel Kobe player tried to explain the reason why his old team, Barca, isn't working. "Barcelona is always a good team. These things happen sometimes, but they will come back. At the moment, it is difficult because of the situation the team is in, also financially".
