Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard is “ready” to take on Chelsea in the Champions League according to Zinedine Zidane.

Eden Hazard will be able to play a part when Real Madrid take on Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The Real Madrid ace will be heading back to Stamford Bridge for the semi-finals of the European Cup.

Hazard was a star in west London before making the switch to Spain just over 18 months ago.

The Belgian has endured a nightmare time at the Bernabeu, with injuries and a lack of form hampering his ambitions.

He is again sidelined but is closing in on a first-team return, with Zidane claiming his desire to return is higher than ever.

“He is feeling very better and he is ready,” he said. “He wants to be back more than anyone else.

“We have been more cautious with [Dani] Carvajal and Hazard, because they are relapses.

“They are both better and that is good for the team.”

Thomas Tuchel will be looking to end French manager’s record of having never lost in a two-legged European tie.

However, the return of Hazard to Stamford Bridge could be one of the most talked about points when Real Madrid eventually lock horns with Chelsea.
