Hazard made his debut on 14 September 2019, coming on as a substitute in a 3–2 victory over Levante in La Liga at the Bernabeu. On 5 October, he scored his first competitive goal for Los Blancos, right before half time against Granada in his first home league start. In the second half, he also got his first assist which was to Modrić in an eventual 4–2 victory. On 26 November, Hazard suffered an ankle injury against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League group stage after a rash challenge by Belgium teammate Thomas Meunier. He was unable to continue and was substituted moments later. A day later, Madrid's medical team suggested the ankle injury was "an external bruise" expected to keep Hazard on the sidelines for just 10 days. But one week later, further tests by the medical team revealed he suffered an "incomplete external micro fracture" in his right ankle, with no set return date. Hazard went on to miss 16 Madrid matches across four competitions, which included the first El Clásico of the season, the Supercopa de España victory in Jeddah and the entire Copa del Rey campaign which ended with a quarter-final exit to Sociedad.
