Thorgan Hazard: “Eden can't do anything now …”

Thorgan Hazard (27 years old) appeared before the media this Monday in Tubize, where Belgium start preparing the triple date of November. Those of Roberto Martinez They will host Switzerland in Leuven (Wednesday 11; friendly), England (Sunday 15; League of Nations) and Denmark (Wednesday 18; League of Nations). About it and the marked absence of his brother Eden asked this newspaper.

Why did you lose to England at Wembley (2-1), with so many casualties and deserving at least the draw, next Sunday's game is even more special?

We are preparing to try to win it. It is important because winning would be very good to be first, although we still have the game with Denmark. We know what England is like, a strong team with very good players, but of course we also know our quality.

Eden will not be there again. How do you feel after so many injuries and so much bad luck since you signed for Madrid?

He's been very unlucky so far. The injury was over and now the virus … It's two more weeks. You can't do anything now, the virus comes when it wants to and then it goes away. Eden needs to wait and take care of the family. When he comes back he will be fine and he will be able to play every game as before, as in England, every three days. He has nothing now, just bad luck. I hope it's over.

Who misses Eden the most, Belgium or Madrid?

Both of them. Eden is one of the best in the world and when you have him, he is better. It has been seen, of course, in recent games. Madrid lost in Valencia and we lost too. It's better when he's there.

In addition, Thorgan analyzed the situation as follows for local media: “Eden is fine, without symptoms, but it is annoying for him because he had gotten rid of injuries. I don't think he will come to the third game, unless his second test is negative.”
