Real Madrid convince Eden Hazard not to undergo surgery

Real Madrid have convinced Eden Hazard not to undergo surgery on his troublesome ankle.

Marca says after taking advice from various specialists, Real Madrid have convinced Hazard to avoid undergoing more ankle surgery, following his latest injury setback.

The Belgium international believes that all his recent injury issues have been as a result of his operated ankle, which is still bothering him one year after having surgery in Dallas.

Hazard does not feel comfortable due to his conditioning and his continuous muscle injuries, but Real Madrid asked him to be patient and take his time to fully recover.

Meanwhile, the head of Belgian national team's medical staff, Kris Van Crombrugge, explained this week that a new surgery would be a good decision for the player in order to avoid missing out on this summer's European Championship.

"The operation may be a good option to restore flexibility to the ankle," said Van Crombrugge.

"But, without wanting to get involved, I would advise that it should be done as soon as possible so as not to hamper his dream of playing in the European Championship."
