The umpteenth setback suffered by Eden Hazard has caused a wave of concern in the Real Madrid. The Belgian winger, who was beginning to see the light of the tunnel and had already chained three consecutive starts (Villarreal, Inter Y Alaves) retired with muscular problems and, pending a diagnosis, his presence in the next matches is unknown.
For now, he has already fallen from the list of summoned for the match against him Shakhtar Donetsk next Tuesday, where it will be, to the relief of Zidane, the yearned for Karim Benzema. The absence of the Belgian represents a new headache for the French coach, who will have to improvise a new attack trident in Kiev.
Although it handles several possibilities to replace Hazard, the poor performance in recent weeks of Asensio, Vinicius or Rodrygo leaves a significant gap in the extreme position.
The Mallorcan (0 goals and 0 assists this season) is in the eye of the hurricane after his last performances and not even the confidence that keeps him Zidane serves to improve your performance.
The irregular Vinicius combines meritorious matches with others in which his momentum takes its toll while his compatriot Rodrygo, who has scored important goals against him Inter in Champions, tends to go completely unnoticed when he does not see the goal.
The only player who has maintained a regular level in recent years is Lucas Vazquez, but the losses in defense, especially that of Carvajal, has forced Zinedine Zidane to have to relocate him to the right-back position.
Another option for the French coach, according to the good minutes that Martin Odegaard has chained, is to use the Norwegian in one of the two bands, a position that is not alien to him in his passage through the Eredivise.
