SPORT asks Real Madrid: “Will your «ghost» player participate in El Clasico match against Barcelona?”

Next Thursday, the first of the three Clasico matches that will be held within one month will be played between Real Madrid and Barcelona. It will be the first leg of the semi-finals of the King of Spain, and the players who will participate on the field have not yet been determined.

What is almost certain is the absence of the “ghost” player. A player who has been at Real Madrid for 4 years and who arrived with high aspirations given his exorbitant price tag and strangely enough that he hasn’t played a single minute yet in any El Clasico against Barcelona.

It’s Eden Hazard. The Belgian player arrived, in 2019 from Chelsea, with the aim of being the player who fills the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo with his departure. However, due to injuries, disagreements and poor performances, he has not yet participated in any Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

This Thursday, everything seems to indicate that it won’t be Hazard’s time either. The Belgian player has not played a match in the white jersey since January 3 against Cacerinho, specifically in the King’s Cup.

For this reason, despite being available to Ancelotti and suffering no injuries at the moment, his participation is not expected. Even less so now, as with Alvaro Rodriguez breaking into the first team, the Belgian has even less space.

Will Real Madrid field the ghost player against Barcelona in El Clásico for the first time on Thursday?!
