Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard suffers new injury setback

Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard has been hit by another injury setback.

Mundo Deportivo says Hazard is now facing a fight to be fit for their clash with Villarreal this weekend, after picking up a knock in training.

The 31-year-old could face yet another setback in his injury-hit Madrid career, although the knock is reportedly not a serious one, but it has seen the Belgium international missing training before subsequently working in the gym.

Hazard should be fit enough to play by the time the weekend roles around, but it's an added stress boss Carlo Ancelotti did not need.

Madrid have struggled with injuries of late as they were without star striker Karim Benzema for Sunday's win over Granada, while Ferland Mendy also missed out.
