Real Madrid management worried about Hazard fitness - and weight

Real Madrid management have concerns about Eden Hazard's fitness - and weight.

After travelling with Belgium - and not playing a single minute - Roberto Martinez confirmed that Hazard "wasn't fit enough" to feature in either of their matches. This brings about the question of why he didn't just stay in Madrid to work on his fitness.

Sport says it's caused many to believe Hazard isn't showing the required commitment to turn his situation around at Madrid. The club feel Hazard should have stayed at the club and worked alongside the fitness coach Gregory Dupont.

Madrid are also unhappy at the fact Martinez called up Hazard rather than leaving him to build up fitness ahead of the new season.
