Eden Hazard has hit out at claims that he ‘is always injured’ as he claimed he is determined to prove his worth to Real Madrid this season.
The 30-year-old has been plagued with injuries since arriving in the Spanish capital from Chelsea for £89m in 2019.
Hazard was teetering towards a Bernabeu exit this summer as Real Madrid considered offloading the Belgium international.
The Spanish giants were pursuing a move to lure Kylian Mbappe away from PSG and Hazard’s lack of game time and persistent injuries meant he was listed for sale.
Juventus considered making an offer for the Belgian star to replace Cristiano Ronaldo but a concrete deal failed to materialise before the transfer window slammed shut on Tuesday.
Niggling injuries have disrupted Hazard’s Real career, restricting him to just 43 appearances across his first two seasons at the club, with only 31 starts.
But he insisted that he has played more games over the past 10 years than any other player in spite of his injury-riddled career.
