Real Madrid: Zidane insists Hazard is ready to 'push on' against Chelsea

Zinedine Zidane has backed Eden Hazard to play a major role against his old side Chelsea when Real Madrid take on Thomas Tuchel's men in the Champions League.

The Belgian could start Tuesday's semi-final first leg after returning from a muscle injury in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Real Betis.

And Zidane, who has only been able to give Hazard 15 appearances all season amid a host of fitness issues, believes the £130million star is finally ready to 'push on' when his former club visit.

'I don't see Eden having any doubts,' Zidane said during a press conference on Monday morning.

'He looked very good on the field the other day. That was the important thing, not feeling any of his old problems. Now he is good, and now to push on.

'We are happy to have him with us, he will bring a lot to the team.'
