Reports from Spain on Friday have claimed that Belgium captain Eden Hazard turned up for Real Madrid’s preseason camp overweight again.
Real Madrid recently had tried to block Hazard and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtouis’s call ups to turn up for Belgium at the Uefa nations League.
Eden Hazard did not feature a single game against Iceland and Denmark and national team manager Roberto Martinez admitted that he wasn’t fit.
According to Sports magazine Diario sports, the club feel Hazard, who signed from Chelsea for £150million in the summer of 2019, should have not reported for international duty and stayed with Real to work on his fitness.
In his debut season, he reportedly arrived for Real’s 2019 pre-season tour in Montreal seven kilos overweight, much to the annoyance of manager Zinedine Zidane.
There are questions over his commitment to turning around his fortunes at the Bernabeu following an underwhelming first season that was adversely affected by injury.
Worse still, this is the second year in succession that Hazard, 29, has been out of shape ahead of a new season.
Now he is unlikely to be fit enough for the start of Real’s LaLiga title defence at Real Sociedad next Sunday with Sport reporting that Hazard needs ‘two or three weeks’ to reach the same fitness levels of his team-mates
