Zinedine Zidane has expressed concern over the severity of Eden Hazard’s ankle injury after the forward limped off during Real Madrid’s Champions League draw with Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.
Hazard could now be a doubt for Madrid’s next El Classico clash with Barcelona on 18 December.
“It’s more than just a knock,” said Zidane. “It’s a knock on the ankle and a twist as well. And if it’s just a knock then that’s fine but if it’s a twist too.
“Hopefully it will be okay with just three days rest. We will see on Wednesday. I hope it’s not a bad twist.”
Hazard, who was seen grimacing on the sidelines as he waited for treatment, was replaced by Gareth Bale as Madrid saw out a 2-2 with PSG at the Bernabeu.
Madrid had already secured qualification to the knockout stages following the 1-1 draw between Brugge and Galatasaray in Tuesday’s earlier kick-off.
In-form forward Karim Benzema put Real ahead before PSG saw a first-half penalty and red card for Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois overturned on VAR review.
Benzema made it 2-0 with a header in the 79th minute – but Kylian Mbappe swiftly bundled in a scrappy close-range effort to reignite the tie before substitute Pablo Sarabia lashed in a dramatic equaliser.
