# Chelsea fans in awe of Hazard after sign of love for club

Many Chelsea fans have hailed Eden Hazard after an image of the forward wearing club-branded shinpads emerged online.

It wouldn’t be that big of a deal, however, Hazard was wearing the shinpads underneath his socks whilst playing for Real Madrid.

The 29-year-old [completed a move to Spain](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48548361) for a fee that could exceed £150million last summer, leaving Chelsea after seven years at the club.

It hasn’t been smooth sailing for Hazard in Madrid so far though, with his stint [marred by constant injury problems](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eden-hazard/verletzungen/spieler/50202).

[He’s started just nine La Liga games in his inaugural season at the Bernabeu, scoring just one goal and providing a sole assist](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/33404/Show/Eden-Hazard).

The Blues could do with Hazard at the club right now, as Tammy Abraham (13) is the only player [to score more than five](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/15/Show/England-Chelsea) Premier League goals this season.

The Belgium international contributed to [202 goals in 352 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eden-hazard/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/50202) for Chelsea and Frank Lampard is probably missing that world-class threat this season.

After an eagle-eyed photographer spotted Hazard’s choice of shin protection, it unsurprisingly led to many supporters publicising their admiration.
