Eden Hazard's Improving Fitness Condition Is The Most Beautiful News For Madrid
JAKARTA - Good news comes to Real Madrid. The condition of Belgian attacking midfielder Eden Hazard is getting better. The 29-year-old has only made 13 appearances so far this season due to injury. He also only scored one goal and four assists.
The former Chelsea player has been sidelined since November with a leg problem. However, as Diario AS reported Friday, January 24, he was seen training with the ball in the foot for the first time on Thursday.
It added that Hazard was out on the training ground on Monday for a practice run. This is another signal of Hazard's progress towards full fitness.
Real Madrid have yet to reveal the deadline set for the recovery of a player bought from Chelsea in the summer. But when referring to the key game against Atletico Madrid on February 1, they certainly hope Hazard will return soon.
Moreover, Zinedine Zidane's team will also return to compete in the Champions League next month. The first leg of the last 16 against Manchester City takes place on 26 February.
Meanwhile Arsenal are reportedly looking to fence off Gabriel Martinelli with a new contract to prevent Real Madrid's interest. The 18-year-old has scored 10 goals and three assists in 21 games for the Gunners this season.
The Daily Mail reports that Los Blancos are ready to spend £ 50 million to get Martinelli's signature. However, it all depends on the movements made by Arsenal management.
