Real Madrid's Eden Hazard will not participate in the Spanish Super Cup, which begins on January 8, 2020, due to an ankle fracture he suffered during the team's draw against Paris Saint-Germain on November 26, 2019.
According to Zinedine Zidane, the team's coach, Hazard will also miss the La Liga game against Getafe on January 4, 2020, and will not travel to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals on January 8, 2020.
"He is 100 per cent out of the Super Cup," Zidane said in a press conference. "He is not travelling, he is recovering and we hope that just after the Super Cup, little by little, we could see him with us again."
Hazard, who joined Real Madrid for 100 million euros from Chelsea last summer, has scored one goal in 13 appearances for his new club so far.
Madrid found form without him before Christmas but trail Barcelona by two points in the table after consecutive draws in the Clasico at Camp Nou and then at home to Athletic Bilbao.
