There was nobody near him – Martinez stunned by Hazard injury

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez described his
shock at Eden Hazard's serious ankle injury, saying
no-one was near the Chelsea star when he was
hurt.
Hazard is expected to be out for three months after
undergoing surgery on his fractured right ankle on
Monday.
The 26-year-old, who has been linked with a move
to Real Madrid, suffered the injury in training ahead
of Belgium's friendly against the Czech Republic
and World Cup qualifier with Estonia.
Speaking after a 2-1 win over the Czechs on
Monday, Martinez said he was stunned by
Hazard's setback.
"I am very disappointed with Eden's injury. We all
know he is a great player, but not everybody sees
he is a great human being and leader for us as
well," he said.
"He was working hard to be ready for these two
games and then this happens.
"There was nobody near him when it happened. He
wanted to move from his left foot to his right foot
as he lined up a shot and then it happened."We were all in shock and immediately realised it
was serious.
"He is already back in London and we have been in
touch after the game. He watched the match and
congratulated us with the win."
A 52nd-minute header from Marouane Fellaini led
Belgium to their friendly win, and they visit Estonia
on Friday. Follow breaking news, entertainment news, politics, sports, comedy,tech, browsing cheat, join this Whatsapp group
