Eden Hazard announces international retirement after Belgium's miserable World Cup exit

Eden Hazard has announced his retirement from international football, aged just 31.

The Real Madrid forward captained Belgium at the World Cup in Qatar, but has now called time on his involvement with the team. Belgium were knocked out of the tournament in the group stages following a narrow 1-0 win over Canada, a shock 2-0 loss to Morocco and 0-0 draw with Croatia.

Hazard has now followed manager Roberto Martinez in stepping away from the team following the dismal World Cup performance. He retires having scored 33 goals in 126 appearances for the Red Devils since making his debut back in 2008.
