Roberto Martinez has rebuffed suggestions that there is open hostility between Belgium and Real Madrid over Eden Hazard's rehabilitation, stressing that "there is no war" between the two parties.
The influential attacker and Red Devils captain has missed out on selection for his country's 2022 World Cup qualifiers this week as he continues to struggle with an ankle injury.
Hazard has now been convinced to not undergo a further operation at the behest of Los Blancos, despite the recommendation of Belgium's medical staff that he do so - but the national team boss has moved to cool the notion that club and country are at loggerheads.
