Eden Hazard is reportedly becoming increasingly frustrated with his role at Real Madrid, having been overlooked for Thursday's Copa del Rey contest with Athletic Bilbao.

The 31-year-old was an unused substitute during the 1-0 loss to Athletic, with Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti deciding not to introduce the Belgium international.

Hazard, who was strongly linked with a January move away from Bernabeu, has again struggled to show his best form at club level this term, managing just one goal and two assists in 18 appearances.

The experienced attacker started Real Madrid's last league game against Elche but was withdrawn in the latter stages, as the home side looked to recover from a two-goal deficit.

According to Marca, Hazard is becoming increasingly frustrated with his role at the club and was particularly disappointed not to be used in the Copa del Rey contest with Athletic.

The Belgian, who was linked with a move to Newcastle United last month, has scored six goals and registered 10 assists in 61 games for Los Blancos since arriving from Chelsea in July 2019.
