Real Madrid’s injury problems this early on in the campaign must be a major worry for Carlo Ancelotti. There were already question marks about the depth of the squad and that is being tested now, with someone or the other out in every game for Los Blancos. The upcoming match against Celtic is going to be no different.
Aurelien Tchouameni has already been ruled out of the game and Karim Benzema is a major doubt as well, having already missed the past several matches. And now, another name has been added to that list.
It is none other than Eden Hazard, who has been through an injury nightmare ever since joining Real Madrid three years back and it looks like he has now picked up another issue, although the extent of it is unknown.
As reported by AS, Hazard has not appeared in the last group training .The Belgian maestro has discomfort in his thigh. He will not be available against Celtic.
Another Real Madrid star suffers injury ahead of Celtic match
Hazard might not be a starter for Real Madrid, he may even be the last choice winger in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad at the moment, but he is an option on the bench nonetheless.
Real Madrid do not have a lot of depth right now. Thus, they cannot afford for another of their first-team players to go down with injury.
Thus, Real Madrid would be hoping that the problem is nothing serious and Hazard is back fit and available as soon as possible. It does not sound like a big issue, but who knows with the injury history that the Belgian has.
Real Madrid do have enough depth to deal with the injuries on a short-term basis, but this cannot keep going on throughout the season and we have seen their form take a downturn recently as well.
