Lucas Vazquez backs Real Madrid teammate Eden Hazard to rediscover best form

Winger Lucas Vazquez has backed Eden Hazard to soon start producing his best form for Real Madrid.

Despite scoring in Saturday's 4-2 victory over Granada, Hazard has endured a relatively slow start to life at the Bernabeu, partly due to an injury sustained during pre-season.

However, while opinion on the Belgian remains divided, Vazquez has predicted that Hazard is close to replicating the displays which earned him a move from Chelsea in the summer.

The 28-year-old told Marca: "He's a really great player, as he showed for many years in England. In Spain, he'll show that too, I'm sure. We are very happy to have him in our team."

Hazard has been restricted to just five starts and one substitute outing during the opening weeks of the campaign.
