30-year-old Real Madrid and Belgium player Eden Hazard, who has been plagued by injury over the last two seasons, also believes he can get back to his best.

"We are coming from a difficult period with the coronavirus and personally I also struggled with a lot of injuries. That was difficult for me to comprehend because I was never injured before. It was a mix of different things that made me unhappy but if the injuries leave me alone, I will still reach my top level.

"That's why I'm still going out on to the field with great enthusiasm. I lost two years due to injuries; I want to play again and regain the good feeling on the pitch.

"If the injuries leave me alone, I will certainly still reach my level. My qualities will always be there, I'm not worried about that, even if I may be a little less explosive. I just have to have the confidence that I can play without getting injured," he added.
