Eden Hazard might never play football again

 

Eden Hazard might ‘never play football again’ if he goes under the knife for a third ankle operation, a top Spanish doctor has claimed.

The Belgian has been plagued with injuries since joining Real Madrid from Chelsea in a deal worth up to £130m back in 2019.

He is sidelined with another ankle problem at the moment and is understood to want another operation.

But Dr Jose Gonzalez, who works for Real’s rivals Atletico Madrid, warned that a third ankle operation could end Hazard’s career.

He told Ondacero, “Hazard has to train with the team for up to 10 training sessions.

He only made his latest comeback in Saturday’s 2-1 win against Elche and Zinedine Zidane said he ‘can’t explain’ why the 30-year-old suffered yet another setback.
