According to Mario Cortegana, Eden Hazard has avoided a serious injury that could have seen him miss action for a very long time.

There were initial fears that Hazard suffered a serious blow during a training session on Monday.

However, nothing serious happened to the 32-year-old after tests, and while he will miss the La Liga tie against Girona, the Belgian may make the squad list against Almeria on Saturday.

Hazard has made 9 appearances for Real Madrid this season, with 3 goal contributions.
