Eden Hazard is baffled by the lack of action he's seen under Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti this season.
Hazard, 31, was an unused substitute in Madrid's 1-0 Copa del Rey defeat by Athletic Bilbao, with Ancelotti opting not to call on the Belgian despite being in need of a goal.
Worse still, the £150million man spent 15 minutes warming up on the touchline in anticipation of being used, but was instead sent back to the bench - much to Gareth Bale's amusement.
Marca says Hazard is struggling to understand Ancelotti's reluctance to give him game time.
The veteran Italian has long insisted that the form of Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo has prevented him from calling on Hazard.
However, the Belgian is reportedly of the view that if he cannot even get game time for a Copa del Rey game - a competition of minor importance for Madrid - then the likelihood of him ever getting a chance is slim, such is his 'inconsequential' role.
