Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti says he won\u2019t stand in Eden Hazard\u2019s way if the Belgian wants to leave the club after falling down the pecking order.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hazard has endured an injury hit and inconsistent two-and-a-bit years at the Bernabeu since trading Chelsea for Los Blancos<\/em> in 2019 for a fee just south of \u00a3100m.<\/p>\n

During his time in the Spanish capital, the one-time Premier League Player of the Season has seen his potential buffeted by various injury issues, but he has been fully fit this season, a notion confirmed by Ancelotti earlier this month<\/a>, and yet can’t get into the side on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is ready to play, but the problem is that there is a coach who prefers another player,” Ancelotti recently said. The 30-year-old has struggled to supplant Vinicius Junior on the left, with the burgeoning Brazilian flourishing under Ancelotti this campaign, with nine goals and five assists in 14 games.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a route to the first team uncertain for Hazard, who was an unused substitute in the win over rivals Barcelona earlier this month, and with the ex-Chelsea talisman afforded just 21 and five minutes in the last two La Liga games against Osasuna and Elche respectively, questions have emerged about his future.<\/p>\n

Regarding that point, Ancelotti has now come out and declared that he will not stand in Hazard’s way if the struggling forward were to seek a move away from Real.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Never in my career as a coach have I forced a player to stay when they want to leave,” Ancelotti stated. “In my own personal opinion I don’t have any doubts about that.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n

On whether he has been overburdening Hazard’s current competition for a place in Vinicius Junior with too much game time, Ancelotti said: “I don’t think so.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s fine, he’s young and recovers better than others. If he has a problem or suffers a drop in form then we can rest him. But right now we are very happy with him.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
