Zidane recovers Hazard after claiming himself at the Camp Nou

Eden Hazard is back. The Belgian entered the list of Zinedine Zidane for the match that will face Real Madrid on Tuesday with Borussia Mönchengladbach on the second day of Group B of the Champions League. A crucial appointment for the future of the whites in their favorite competition, after the unexpected defeat suffered against Shakhtar Donetsk at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium, but to which they will arrive with the morale reinforced by their triumph in the classic played on Saturday in the Camp Nou. An emotional injection to which is added the recovery of the star who was called to be the banner of the Chamartín team but who has spent more days in the infirmary since he landed with galactic pomp at the Santiago Bernabéu than drawing those fantasy plays that he became for years the great emblem of the Premier League.

The ‘7’ did not appear in a summons from Zidane since last September 29. The duel against Valladolid the following day was going to mean his return to the pitch, more than a month and a half after he had to leave the Etihad Stadium crestfallen for not having been able to prevent the European elimination of Real Madrid at the hands of Manchester City . But hours before that stake against the Blanquivioleta team, he was diagnosed with a muscle injury in his right leg and could not dress short.

The umpteenth setback in his recovery triggered the alarms in the ‘white house’ and it was decided that the former Chelsea did not return until he was fully empowered. Zidane already warned that his ailment was more serious than initially expected and did not want to force him to the classic. But the Belgian already seems to have reached an adequate physical state, so much so that the coach has chosen to enlist him for a lawsuit in which Real Madrid cannot fail if they do not want to complicate their passage to the second round of the Champions League.

Because the whites will face a new extreme situation against Marco Rose’s ‘bulls’. With the scoreboard at zero, only a victory would serve to straighten their course in the competition in which they have reigned for thirteen times in their history. The skid against the Cinderella of their group has left them with no margin for error and, everything that is not returning to the Spanish capital with the three points in their pocket would turn the coming duels into life and death matches.
