Santiago Bernabeu ‘on fire’ as Real Madrid star man finally returns

The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid in 2018, left a big vacuum in the dressing of the Spanish giants.

Their desire for another star man to step into the shoes of the Portuguese talisman gave birth to the emergence of Eden Hazard.

However, the former Chelsea hitman performance has been hampered by series of injuries and thus his inability to hit ground running instantly.

Eden has had an injury-ravaged debut season since his move from the Premier League for a deal worth £130m and has not played since February 22

And painfully, the Belgian captain’s injury woes have left virtually all madridistas disappointed as they have exercised great expectations from his magical boots.

Interestingly, their star man is finally back and the former Chelsea forward who has not hidden his joy of returning to training with his Real Madrid team-mates aims to be fully fit once La Liga resumes.

Ironically, the football’s suspension may have come at a good time for Hazard, who was set to miss around two months with a fractured ankle.

Hazard in a video on Real Madrid’s Twitter account said: “Very good to be back on the pitch to work with the boys. We now just have to wait for the games but I’m very happy.

“After two months out, I need more fitness and more [training] with the ball. So, I just want to be ready for the next game.”

Real Madrid fans can only wish and hope that their star remains out injury woes going forward.
