Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard is set to miss Spanish league derby clash with Atletico but the ex-Chelsea super star is targeting Champions League showdown against Manchester City for his return to action following long spell on the sideline for ankle injury.
The Belgian dazzling winger has been out of action for two months with an ankle injury he sustained against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League back in November.
Hazard has just returned to training but according to Spanish publication AS, he did not participate in Monday’s full session with the rest of the squad and has been ruled out of Sunday’s eagerly-anticipated derby against Atletico.
Hazard is now eyeing up a return to action in the first-leg of Madrid’s Champions League last-16 tie against Premier League outfit City at the Bernabeu on February 26.
The Belgium international has endured a very tough start to life in Madrid following his £150million move from Chelsea in the summer. Injuries have derailed his goals this season, scoring just once and creating four assists in 13 appearances in all competitions.
