Eden Hazard to miss Real Madrid season opener

Real Madrid will be without Eden Hazard for their opening game of the season after the summer signing picked up a training injury.

The Belgian joined the 13-time European champions from Chelsea in June and scored one goal in seven pre-season appearances for Zinedine Zidane's side.

However, he will miss their away trip to Celta Vigo after suffering a thigh injury in training earlier today.

Sky Sports News reports that the tests conducted after the session show the midfielder suffered a muscular injury to the anterior part of his right thigh. It is not clear at this stage how much time the former Lille man will miss.

The Spanish side will also be without the services of Marco Asensio and Dani Carvajal for their trip to Galicia, with the former injured and the latter suspended.
