Zinedine Zidane, the Real Madrid boss, admits he “can’t explain” Eden Hazard’s new injury setback.
Danger, 30, returned from a hamstring injury in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Elche, coming on for the final 15 minutes.
He may, however, skip Atalanta’s Champions League home last-16 second leg on Tuesday.
“It’s a novel concept. I’m sorry, but I don’t have any further reasons to give “Zidane said.
Since joining Los Blancos from Chelsea in 2019, the Belgian forward has made 25 La Liga appearances. However, injuries have plagued him in his tenure at the club.
Zidane wanted to see him back in action as soon as possible, but he was perplexed as to why his injuries have continued to worsen following his arrival at Real.
“Something’s wrong because he’s never been hurt in his whole career [before joining Real], or he’s just had a handful. We’d like to assist him and hope he returns as quickly as possible.
“It’s something I can’t describe. I’d like to be hopeful and trust that it won’t be too much of a concern.
“We’ll try to find out why it’s happening, but we can’t justify it right now.”
Casemiro will be suspended for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Atalanta after receiving a booking in the first leg, but captain Sergio Ramos is fit and expected to start.
Real have a one-goal lead after winning the first leg 1-0 in Italy thanks to a late Ferland Mendy goal.
