Zidane insists Eden Hazard’s recovery is on track

Eden Hazard has not suffered another injury setback claims Zidane.

The former Chelsea winger has been on the sidelines since February due to a muscle problem and has been spotted in light training which suggests he is edging closer to a return.

According to reports, Hazard suffered a slight discomfort on the training pitch but Zidane insists the Belgian winger’s recovery is on track.

This season Hazard has suffered two separate muscle injuries and could garner only 13 appearances in all competitions.

Zidane said: “There is no relapse. We want him to be 100 per cent when he can return.

”This is what he is doing, little by little, without haste.

“We know how important he is in our team, but we have to go with how he feels. It is important that, when he returns, he feels strong and 100 per cent.

“We are not going to risk anything on his return. He is progressing very well, and I hope that next week maybe he can be with us for good.”
