Real Madrid star Eden Hazard faces yet another set-back as he will undergo surgery to remove the osteosynthesis plate in his right fibula.
Hazard has failed to live up to his £98million price tag since completing a move to Madrid from Chelsea in 2019, making a mere 65 appearances and struggling to find his best form due to injury problems.
The Belgium international looks set for a spell on the sidelines, expected to be around a month, according to Radio Marca.
His injury will rule him out of a return to Stamford Bridge to face his former club in the Champions League quarter-finals next month.
