Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard underwent surgery on his right ankle in the United States yesterday.

Madrid said team doctors supervised the operation conducted in Dallas to repair a fracture in his fibula.

“Hazard will now remain under observation until he gets the all-clear to begin his rehabilitation process,” the Spanish club said.

Hazard, Madrid’s biggest signing last year, broke his lower right leg in a loss at Levante in the Spanish league on February 22. He was just returning to action after missing nearly three months because of a similar injury.
