The winger is set for one
longer spell on the sidelines after hopping off the pitch during a Liga clash beside
Levante.
Real Madrid superstar
Eden Hazard would not be ready to return to the pitch for at least three months
while he recovers from another ankle injury, according to Roberto Martinez.

Zinedine Zidane
welcomed Hazard back into his starting line-up for Madrid's 2-2 draw
with Celta Vigo at Santiago Bernabeu on February 16.
The Belgian had not
played since November due to an ankle issue, but produced a lively display
against Celta, winning a second-half penalty which allowed Sergio Ramos to step
up and score his fifth goal of the season.
Hazard retained his
place for a trip to Levante on Saturday, but he was forced off the
pitch after breaking his ankle during the second half of Madrid's surprise 1-0
defeat.
Madrid later confirmed
in an official statement that the 29-year-old sustained a fracture to his
right distal fibula, with Zidane admitting that the injury looked bad in his
post-match interview.
It has not yet been
confirmed how long Hazard will be out for, but he will definitely miss
Madrid's Champions League last-16 meeting with Manchester
City and a Clasico showdown against Barcelona over the next
seven days.
Belgium boss Martinez has been in contact with
Madrid regarding the winger's fitness and does not expect him to be available
again until May at the earliest, which makes him a doubt for this summer's
European Championship.

Interview:
"We are very miserable
because this injury will leave him out of stroke for at least three
months," Martinez told reporters.
A footballer alike Eden
should at all times be on the pitch. We have excellent communication with Real
Madrid's medical staff and we are anxious about Eden. It is a shame because it
has also happened before an important game like that of Manchester City."
Hazard has endured a
hugely difficult first nine months at the Bernabeu since joining the club
from Chelsea for £89 million $115m last summer.
Fitness problems have
played a huge part in the Belgium international's struggles, but he has also
failed to duplicate the same level of performances he produced on a regular
basis during his time at Stamford Bridge.
Hazard has only scored
once in 15 appearances across all competitions for Madrid, who slipped behind
Barcelona in the Liga standings once again after losing their first match since
October at the weekend.
