Belgium national team boss Roberto Martinez has insisted he has no fitness concerns over Real Madrid star Eden Hazard ahead of Euro 2020.
Martinez has named a star-studded
squad for this summer’s tournament, with Hazard joined by Los Blancos teammate Thibaut Courtois and Atletico Madrid forward Yannick Carrasco.
However, despite struggling with injury and inconsistent form
in the Spanish capital this season, Martinez has backed his star man to step up
this summer.
“We are pleased things are going
better with Eden Hazard and we look forward to him reaching his top level again
in the next few weeks,” as per quotes from Eurosport.
“He is our captain and will play an
important role.”
Hazard came off the bench in Real Madrid’s narrow 1-0 win away at Athletic Bilbao last
weekend to keep alive their hopes of defending their La Liga title
as rivals Barcelona bowed out with a dramatic penultimate weekend
loss to Celta Vigo at the Camp Nou.
He could return to the starting line up for their final
day home game against Villarreal with Zinedine Zidane‘s
side needing to win to stand a chance of overhauling Atletico’s two point
advantage at the top of the table.
