Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard is hopeful of playing again this season.

Marca says Hazard underwent surgery on Tuesday in Madrid in an attempt to finally bring the repeated problems he's suffered since joining Real Madrid to an end. He's been plagued by physical problems since first falling injured against Paris Saint-Germain in November 2019.

The operation took place at the Saints La Zarzuela University Hospital in Madrid and was carried out by Dr. Jose Palacios, at all times under the supervision of Los Blancos' own medical team.

Hazard will be out for four to six weeks now, depending on how things go with his recovery. There is a chance he could play a part in the final stretch of the season.

The Belgian was able to return home on the day of the surgery to begin his recovery and will soon start his rehabilitation at Valdebebas. He will likely rest for 24 to 48 hours before starting.
