The Belgium international was selected up front for Real Madrid’s game against Mallorca with Karim Benzema injured.
Newsonline report that the former Chelsea star struggled to make an impact, coming off with his side drawing 1-1.
Real Madrid scored three more goals to win the game 4-1 without Hazard.
“It’s better to use Rodrygo as a nine with Valverde rather than just Hazard,” Ancelotti told reporters after the game.
“We had difficulties not because Hazard was there, but because the other positions weren’t occupied by the others. Hazard can play centre-forward.”
