Speaking of same, he ded, "In January it is impossible [leaving club] because I have family and I like city. But in summer it is possible that I go. I have one more year on my contract and it's club's decision. If Real Mrid tells me in summer that I have to leave, I will accept it. But I would like to play more, show more that I can play, that I am a good player." After speaking about possibility of leaving Real Mrid, Hazard went on to explain how he himself is baffled about his recent injury concerns.

"During ten years [including] at Chelsea, I played 500 games without injuries or anything, and n in two years all se injuries. It’s something I can’t explain. I have changed many things. Gym and food too. I played many games in ten years, seven in Premier with many kicks. re are moments in life when you have a little less luck with a game or an injury and you have to understand your way of life. You can change things in life, but I think many were due to b luck, a bit because of coronavirus, a bit because of confinement."
