Madrid Boss Ancelotti Provides Fresh Update On Hazard Amid Potential Chelsea Return

“Hazard had a lot of problems. Now I think he’s physically good. He played 10 minutes against Inter, but the fact that he’s physically good means that he will have more game time,” Carlo Ancelotti has told ElevenSports.

“Will Hazard play more against Atletico Madrid? For sure, because his condition is good,” the Italian boss added.

The Belgian forward could enter the pitch in the second half if needed.
