EDEN HAZARD will be fit for next month's El Clasico after reportedly being ruled out for just ten days with a leg knock.
Real Madrid’s latest Galactico suffered an ankle injury in last night’s Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
And Hazard was facing an anxious wait to discover if he would be fit for the league trip to Barcelona on December 18.
Hazard, 28, was superb for Real in the 2-2 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu before he was replaced by Gareth Bale in the 70th minute.
Los Blancos have now confirmed that Hazard suffered a minor injury to his leg.
And Marca claims he will be sidelined for just ten days.
He said: “There is a little worry over Hazard at full time.
“He was in pain and we think it is more than an impact injury.
“It is a sprained ankle, but hopefully not a severe sprain.
“We will know more in the coming days.”
Hazard played a leading role in Tuesday night’s European game, with Real going 2-0 up against PSG before conceding twice in the final ten minutes.
It was his best performance for Los Blancos since joining from Chelsea for a potential £150million over the summer.
Hazard has made 13 appearances in total for his new side, but has come under fire from fans for scoring just one goal.
However, Real need him fit and available for next month’s crunch clash with Barcelona at the Nou Camp.
The two sides are level at the top of La Liga on 28 points, although Barcelona technically lead by virtue of their one-better goal difference.
Hazard will definitely miss this weekend's trip to Alaves, but could be back in time a week later for Espanyol.
