Cole worried about Hazard after Chelsea fans call for superstar return

Eden Hazard’s former team-mate Joe Cole is worried about his future at Real Madrid after seeing him go off with his eighth injury in 18 months.

Hazard was a god here during his time with the club and helped the Blues to win multiple trophies but the lure of a move to Real Madrid was hard to turn down, and the Blues had to make the decision to let the Belgian to leave the club and make his dream move to the Bernabeu

But in his first 18-months with Los Blancos, he has played just 28 times in all competitions, and Having seen the best of Hazard first-hand, Cole is now worried that the injuries will now lead to intense pressure that will stop him from succeeding in Madrid.

It comes just a few days after fans called for the Belgian to make the move back to Stamford Bridge: “It has been a tough time for Eden. It is an example that no matter how good you are, if you are not fit then you can’t do it on the pitch and it won’t work,” Cole was quoted on GOAL

“For Eden, his body has just let him down in his two years there. He is a great player and one of the best players in the world when he is fit and he has come off again with a muscle injury.

“It is disappointing because I was so excited to see him pull on that Real Madrid shirt and just join the list of the great players they have had over the years and it just hasn’t worked for him.

“I think come January, it might not be done for him, but I think he will need a run of games to show his quality finally. I think Real Madrid are notoriously impatient with their fans and owners so I feel sorry for him. He has just not been able to show it.”
