Hazard spoke to John Obi Mikel’s The Obi One Podcast, revealing that he developed an ankle injury just three months after joining the Whites. “I think I was a little unlucky with COVID during that time. Because if you want to know the truth I went to Dallas for ankle surgery. Then came back to Madrid. And it was during COVID.” ( sudpung168 )

“I was infected with Covid for 2 to 2 and a half months. I had to stay home alone. There was no physiotherapist to provide therapy. I had to do physical therapy by myself. If I had to choose one thing to change, I should tell the doctor that ‘Send me a physio. I need proper therapy.’ I should because I want to play at the highest level.”

“Then when Covid is over. We returned to the field. I pushed my body like crazy. But my ankles are not the same. Then everything fell apart the following season. You probably already know this story.”

“If you want me to change one thing. That is, call a physical therapist. ‘Come to my house. I know it’s COVID. But please come home. I need therapy.’ Things might have been different at that time.”

When the former Nigeria midfielder was asked if Hazard felt Madrid could do more to help him, Hazard defended the Spanish team. and suggests that everyone is a victim of the COVID-19 situation.

“At that time people were not allowed to go out or go to work. And I’m not pressuring the physio or doctor to…’Come on. I need someone.’ For me, I did physical therapy myself. Got some exercise and did many things by myself. To me it looks okay. I don’t think I can do much more than that.”

“At first, I didn’t think I needed to do anything more. But after two months I thought, ‘Yes, we should do more.’ But at first I was OK. I did what was reasonable. Had a little run outside. Do you have some exercise? And it wasn’t that bad. But then when I came back to the field I felt it.”

Former Belgian Army Commander Added that “After that time with COVID We’re back on the field again. And we have two more months to play until the season ends. And we’re close to being champions. So I said to Zinedine Zidane ‘I’m ready, I want to play’ and then on the day we won the title I said ‘No, I can’t do anything more, I’m done. The body is suffering a lot. I need proper rehab.’ But it was the end of the season.”

Then, when Real Madrid changed their manager to Carlo Ancelotti, Hazard was officially cut from the team. Until finally, his time with Real Madrid was unforgettable, making only 76 appearances in 4 years and finally deciding to hang up his boots and stop playing.
