Hazard's ankle injury leaves Belgium boss Martinez 'anxious' over Real Madrid star's Euro 2020 availability

Real Madrid superstar Eden Hazard won't be ready to return to the pitch for "at least three months" while he recovers from another ankle injury, according to Roberto Martinez.

Zinedine Zidane welcomed Hazard back into his starting line-up for Madrid's 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo at Santiago Bernabeu on February 16.

The Belgian hadn't played since November due to an ankle issue, but produced a lively display against Celta, winning a second-half penalty which allowed Sergio Ramos to step up and score his fifth goal of the season.
