Real Madrid's Eden Hazard Could Miss El Clasico vs. Barcelona with Leg Injury

Eden Hazard's status for Real Madrid's match against Barcelona on Oct. 25 is in doubt, according to ESPN's Rodrigo Faez and Alex Kirkland.

Madrid released a statement on Wednesday but provided little in the way of specifics: "Following tests carried out today on our player, Eden Hazard, by Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in his right leg. His recovery will continue to be assessed."

Faez and Kirkland reported the Belgian attacker could be out for three to four weeks, a timeframe that would include El Clasico.
