Real Madrid star Eden Hazard has been out of action since mid-March with a muscular injury, but he could be set to make his return against Liverpool in the Champions League.
The former Chelsea winger has struggled for fitness since swapping London for the Spanish capital, missing a total of 57 games through injury in the last two years.
According to MARCA, Hazard could be in line to make his return against Liverpool on Tuesday night – but it’d have to be from the bench – he won’t start the game.
