Eden Hazard only returned to first-team action last month but was unlucky to pick up yet another injury, which kept him on the sidelines for another 20 days.
But the international break gave Hazard time to recuperate and he has now returned to full fitness sooner than expected.
Eden Hazard wasn’t part of Real Madrid’s matchday squad which defeated Eibar 2-0 in La Liga on Saturday.
But as Zidane revealed, Hazard might be back in the team when Liverpool visit the Santiago Bernabeu for the first leg of their UCL quarter-finals tie on Tuesday, April 6.
Real Madrid will, however, miss the services of club captain Sergio Ramos, who picked up an injury to his left leg while on international duty with Spain.
We’re in a good moment: Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane
Zinedine Zidane looked pleased with his team’s performance against Eibar. He believes the team are in a ‘good moment’ heading into the blockbuster tie against English champions Liverpool.
The Eibar win sent Real Madrid within three points of league leaders Atletico Madrid. The Rojiblancos, however, have a game in hand.
Zidane also opened up on Marco Asensio’s recent run of form. The Spanish winger has now scored in three consecutive games, including the match against Eibar.
