A long time has past since Eden Hazard got injured on 26th November. The Belgian footballer was originally not meant to be out for long, but the truth is that his ankle injury has made things more complicated than expected.
In recent weeks, as the ex-Chelsea man is now back in training, his return now seems to be taking too long. It looked like he was going to have game time against Real Sociedad and Osasuna, but Zidane opted for caution and did not even include him in the squad.
Celta at home looks the ideal fixture to bring him back due to Celta's poor position in the table. Especially because the Champions League is not fare away and 'Zizou' is hoping for Hazard to be fully fit for that.
During Hazard's time out, Real won the Super Cup and decided on the way to play football so Hazard will have to adapt to the side and not the other way around.
The situation at Barca with Ousmane Dembele weighs a lot on the footballer and Real Madrid's mind. Therefore, neither Real Madrid nor Zidane have wanted the footballer to run too much.
Real Madrid fans' desire is for the player to be fit for the two key matches in the coming weeks: the Champions League first leg tie against Manchester City on 26th February and the 'Clasico' against Barcelona on 1st March.
