Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard will miss Wednesday’s Champions League last-16 tie against Manchester City after fracturing his ankle.<\/p>\n
Hazard, 29, hobbled off in the second half of Real’s La Liga 1-0 loss to Levante on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Belgian only returned to action last week after missing almost three months with a similar injury.<\/p>\n
“Following tests, Hazard has been diagnosed with a fracture to his right distal fibula,” a club statement said.<\/p>\n
“His recovery will continue to be assessed.”<\/p>\n
The former Chelsea playmaker’s injury troubles have restricted him to 15 appearances for Real since arriving from Stamford Bridge last summer.<\/p>\n
The injury means Hazard is also set to miss Real’s El Clasico match against Barcelona on 1 March.<\/p>\n
The player has suffered recurring problems with his right ankle, which he broke while a Chelsea player in 2017 before sustaining what was described as a “micro-fracture” in a game for Real last November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
