It's speculated that Hazard may see some minutes for the potential championship clincher

The dominance of Real Madrid has been evident ever since the La Liga season resumed from the coronavirus suspension. After taking care of the gritty Granada squad, the club is one win away from clinching this season’s La Liga title. They are hoping star winger Eden Hazard is fully healthy and ready to step up on the field for this momentous opportunity.

The recent matchup between Granada featured a close affair with a final score of 1-2. The offensive skills of Ferland Mendy and Karim Benzema were on full display again as they delivered the two goals for the club. With this win, they’re set to raise the La Liga Championship on their next bout against Villarreal.

If there’s one crucial player that Real Madrid is hoping to return and step up in that bout, it’s Hazard who has currently been playing it safe the past few games. Per The Real Champs, the veteran winger isn’t necessarily injured but the coaching staff has been playing it safe in terms of his minutes on the field. The two-time English champion sat out their matchup against Getafe and Athletic Bilbao. In addition to this, he only played eight minutes against Alaves and sat in the Granada game.

Having the presence of Hazard will be a big boost for Zinedine Zidane and the rest of the team in one of the more crucial matches of the season. The club is not looking to back down anytime soon and is more aggressive than ever to wrap things up. While this is the case, one condition that the staff must ensure first is if he’s fully recovered.

🎙️ Zidane on @hazardeden10: "The thing is that the player must be in very, very, very well condition to play. He's not totally well, his situation is a bit complicated. We have two games left and I hope Eden is 100% by Thursday."#GranadaRealMadrid

With Hazard on the field, they’re equipped with someone who has the experience to step up in high-pressure situations. In Hazard’s career, he’s tallied 352 appearances with Chelsea and has scored 110 times and racked up 92 assists. In his current stint with Real Madrid, he’s made 20 appearances that are good for a goal and seven assists.

It will be vital to see how Real Madrid moves forward with their lineup in their bout against Thursday. It will be expected that the team will do whatever it takes to beat Villarreal and secure the La Liga championship.
