Hazard injury woes continue as Belgian limps off for Real Madrid against Alaves

Eden Hazard was taken off in the first half of Real Madrid's match against Alaves on Saturday with an apparent injury.

The Belgian winger lasted less than 30 minutes before limping off the field as Zinedine Zidane's side would eventually fall 2-1 to the visitors.

After the game, Zidane expressed his hope that Hazard's injury wouldn't keep him out long.
