Real Madrid forward, Eden Hazard is 100 percent fit and ready to return vs Celta Vigo in La Liga on Sunday, according to Zinedine Zidane.
The Belgian partook in full training with Madrid this week and his manager has confirmed that he would play at the Santiago Bernabeu.
According to Zidane, Hazard is a very important player to the club and he is very pleased to have him back in the squad.
He added that it now depends on finding the right game and rhythm to ease him back into the team to help his teammates.
His words, “We all know how important Hazard is and that’s why we signed him. He’s a great player. We’re very happy he’s back with the group,”
“He hasn’t played for three months and it’s not easy. It will also depend on the game and the rhythm but physically he’s absolutely fit and available to be with us.
“We know how much he can help us. It was tough not having him for almost three months due to injury. He’s also very happy to be back.
“It’s true we have to take it easy, we should give him time, and that’s what we did to make sure he’s 100 per cent fit when he is back. He is ready to play tomorrow.”
On if he would still rotate his players, “The most important game is the one that we’re playing tomorrow and after that we’ll just plan the following week,”
“In the next month we’ll have very important games and in each game we’ll have to give it our all because they are all crucial.
“We’ve done well up to now but we have to continue like that if we want to win something important at the end of the season. We know the situation and every game will be a tough one, but we’re ready for that challenge.”
On the City ban, “I don’t really know what’s going to change or what’s going to happen. I can only talk to you about football and about games we’re going to play.
“They are a very strong team, very competitive team and this is something that is not going to change. But right now I’m focused on our game tomorrow.
“They are a great team regardless of the situation they are going through. The games against them in the Champions League will be tough.
“As far as the ban goes, I cannot talk about that, it’s not my job. What I want to stress is Manchester City are a great team, a very tough opponent.”
