Eden Hazard will undergo surgery to remove a metal plate in his right ankle, which will see him miss the stretch run of the season.
Los Blancos did not confirm how long Hazard will be sidelined but sources have told ESPN it is hoped he will return before the end of the campaign.
\"In the coming days, our player, Eden Hazard, will undergo surgery to remove the osteosynthesis plate in his right fibula,\" a Real Madrid statement read.
