Eden Hazard is still having "some thigh problems" after missing much of Real Madrid's season but "will be there when the Euros start", he told a video press conference on Monday. The midfielder said he was "not yet at 100 per cent" but added that "physically I still have to prepare myself and I obviously hope to be ready for the first game on 12 June." 

Belgium, one of the favourites for the title, start Euro 2020 on June 12 against Russia in a group that also includes Denmark and Finland. Hazard arrived at the national training centre at Tubize on Monday, at the same time as most of his team-mates and, as captain, was the first to speak at the press conference. "I missed the last game with Real because of a little discomfort in my thigh. Since then I have been able to rest for a week and mentally I am fine," he said. "I'm going to be good again when I get my confidence back, and when my thigh and ankle don't hurt," he said.
