Hazard has been affected by his early injury crisis at Real Madrid
Given his tremendous talent and incredible level of performances during his time with Chelsea, it is normal for Real Madrid fans to expect Hazard to light up the Santiago Bernabeu. The Belgian also promised to step up and give his best for the club, but injuries have played a hindering role in his case.

Hazard encountered injury problems in the Spanish top-flight even before his Real Madrid career got underway. The attacker injured his thigh during a training session ahead of the season and was ruled out of action for a month.
He missed Los Blancos' first three games in the LaLiga and only returned a few weeks ago to face Villarreal. Ever since then, he hasn't reached his full fitness level and that has been having telling impacts on his performances for the club.
It even got worse with his latest injury setback that is set to keep him from featuring against FC Barcelona in the first Clasico of the season.
