Eden Hazard facing race against time to be fit for the Euros, Belgium boss Roberto Martinez admits - as Real Madrid star has a 'long way to go' after suffering yet another injury setback

Real Madrid star Eden Hazard is facing a race against time to be fit for Euro 2020 after his latest injury setback, Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has admitted.

The 30-year-old forward has endured a miserable time since moving to LaLiga and his woes continued with a muscle issue sustained last week.

The problem is his eighth major injury-related blow since joining from Chelsea in 2019 - and Martinez conceded Hazard has 'a long way to go' to regain fitness.

'Rather than setting a timeline all that matters is to measure every day and to see that Eden is on the right path to get back to full fitness,' Martinez said.
