'He is not far from running again and there are no complications': Roberto Martinez reveals Eden Hazard has recovered well from ankle surgery but warns Belgian's return date is unclear

Eden Hazard has recovered well from ankle surgery but there is no timeframe for when the Belgian will be able to return to action, according to national coach Roberto Martinez.

Hazard had an operation in Dallas last month after fracturing his ankle, following an injury in Real Madrid's late February loss to Levante, having only just returned weeks earlier after a three-month layoff.

The 29-year-old had looked set for another lengthy spell on the sidelines because of the injury but the suspension of football due to the coronavirus pandemic means that he could still feature this season depending on when action in La Liga resumes.
