Eden Hazard has finally put an end to his fitness problems at Real Madrid after working on his fitness over the summer break.
The Belgian midfielder has had three off-seasons in which he ‘got carried away’ and returned to five kilos overweight amid massive struggles with injuries and fitness at Los Blancos.
However, according to reports, the 31-year-old’s physique is now exceeding the expectations of Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti and his staff – as they prepare to have the Belgian in top form for the very first time.

According to ASthe former Chelsea winger was well aware that he would need to improve his fitness over the summer if he is to break into Real’s first team this season.
Hazard returned to his hometown of Braine-le-Comte to spend time with family and seek advice from an unnamed personal trainer who works as part of the Belgium national team.
Those same reports suggest the winger has returned in peak condition to Real Madrid’s training ground Valdebebas ahead of the new season, exceeding all expectations of Ancelotti and his staff.
In March 2020, Hazard underwent surgery to insert a metal plate into his ankle – which, according to the club, has led to a series of injuries since then.
The Belgian has since had surgery to remove the metal plate and there is now hope that he can work on his physique indefinitely.

‘Hazard at last! The Belgian winger returns better than ever to Valdebebas’
Hazard was widely regarded as one of the best players in the world after seven successful seasons at Chelsea, culminating in a 21-goal campaign in 2018-19 in which he earned a transfer to Real in a deal worth a massive £150 million.
But the 120-cap international’s tendency to completely mess up his diet between seasons often caused him to come back overweight, exacerbating his fitness and injury problems.
He has failed to secure a regular starting spot, scoring just six goals in all competitions in his three years at the club – the same as his lowest total in a single season at Chelsea.
