Former Chelsea star says his situation at Real Madrid is delicate

Former Chelsea and now Real Madrid star Eden Hazard has described his current situation at the Spanish club as being delicate.

Hazard, who is currently on international duty for his home country Belgium, played for 65 minutes in their 2-1 UEFA Nations League home win over Wales on Thursday.

In a post-match statement, the Belgian midfielder admitted he needed more game time at Real Madrid before the 2022 World Cup.

So far this season, Hazard has barely featured for the Los Blancos as he has made only one start.

“I was happy to start another match,” Hazard told RTL.

“You saw that, I think. I’m happy when I play and it was nice to play for the supporters here [in Brussels] again. Our first half was very good.

“I know what I can do. Now I want to get in shape for the World Cup. We’ll see what the coach [Roberto Martinez] decides, but I’m happiest when I play.

“When I play, I give it my all. It’s a delicate situation at Real Madrid. I feel like playing more, but I can’t do more.

“I’ve always said the old Eden Hazard will come back when he plays. I just need to get back into the rhythm.”
