Hazard return on the cards in next four weeks?

Although the club have not mentioned any stipulated time scale for Hazard’s return to training, some reports do provide some updates. According to a report by HLN Sport, the 30-year-old Belgium skipper will have to sit out on the sidelines for at least the next four weeks.

This isn’t the first instance of Hazard’s injury. Ever since his famous move to the Spanish capital in 2019, he has missed out on 43 games across all competitions, with the numbers set to surge in the coming days. Ironically, he stood out as one of the fittest players at Stamford Bridge, having missed out on just 20 games during his seven-season stint.
