Real Madrid news is dominated by their defeat in the Spanish Super Cup, and the polls on Brand now shows the majority of club fans think Eden Hazard have to pull it out or be sold.
44 per cent of respondents believe Los Blancos should sell the Belgian star while 25 per cent think he should be a substitute with only 26 per cent thinking he should stay on the wing with 5 per cent believing Madrid should adapt their system to him.
Hazard was once again ineffective for Los Blancos in their loss to Athletic Club Bilbao, and he was replaced in the 67th minute when they trailed 2-0.
The Belgian star’s injury problems since his move from Chelsea in 2019 have ruined his start to life in the Spanish capital, but he has been unable to recover at any point during those 18 months.
Former Madrid star Predrag Mijatovic told Cadena Ser: “Hazard shouldn’t start, but the one who decides and sees him in training is Zidane. Real Madrid are also playing well without him, and that’s a worrying thing. “
Another former Madrid player, Santiago Cazares said: “This is not a Hazard moment. Asensio must play on the left and priority must be given to players who are at their best. Not starting Hazard in the middle and then changing it because it didn’t work. “
Hazard scored just one goal in 22 appearances in his debut campaign in Spain, although Madrid ended up winning their first league title in three years.
The Belgium international suffered a fracture in his right distal fibula during a 1-0 La Liga loss at Levante in February just a week after he returned from a three-month absence with a similar injury. This concludes a difficult season, and his second season is evident. is equally frustrating to only score two goals in 10 appearances.
