​Bad news for Real Madrid over Hazard injury

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is unsure whether injured forward Eden Hazard will play again this season, reports BBC Sport.

The 29 year old who joined Real from Chelsea in June in an initial deal worth £89m, suffered a fractured ankle during his side's 1-0 La Liga loss to Levante on Saturday.

The Belgian was only playing his second game back after a similar injury.

"I don't know if his season is over, I don't know but I hope not," said Zidane.

"I don't know if he will need an operation, it's not my area. I can see he's not happy.

"It's important he stays positive but of course it's difficult. It's a bad moment, it won't be easy and he will feel like this for a while."
