Real Madrid star Hazard advised to have surgery 'as soon as possible' to keep Euro 2020 dream alive

Eden Hazard has been advised by the doctor the Belgium national team to undergo surgery "as soon as possible" after suffering a further injury set-back at Real Madrid.

Fitness problems have plagued the 30-year-old throughout his time at Santiago Bernabeu, with a proven performer being prevented from establishing any kind of consistency and momentum in Spain.

He is now heading back to the treatment room, after seeing just 15 minutes of action on his latest comeback against Elche, and Kris van Crombrugge says he should undergo surgery now to feature at Euro 2020.
