The former Chelsea attacker moved to the Bernabeu in the summer of 2019 in a deal worth £88million but fitness problems have seen him struggle to cement himself as a key player.

Hazard has made just 36 appearances across all competitions in nearly two full seasons for the Spanish giants and is currently sidelined with yet another injury problem.
