Chelsea have a rough couple of weeks ahead. Fortunately their best player of the season will return in time to face Liverpool in what is probably the most important game of the year for both sides. With only two points separating the two, the fixture which is set to happen on the 27th of April is going to be crucial.
Fortunately for Mourinho it appears Hazard will return just in time to help his team claim Premier League glory. The Belgian international is currently Chelsea’s top scorer. He has been one of the reasons the Blues are now close to the top of the Premier League standings, and loosing someone like him could have had a huge impact on the game. Even though the Portuguese boss has a strong squad and could replace Hazard, it is still better for the young midfielder and the club for him to finish the season on the pitch.
According to ESPNFC, Chelsea’s Steve Holland insisted Hazard will return after the game against Sunderland. Luckily for the club, the Champions League semifinals are not happening this week, which gives all the players enough time to recover.
Hazard is the only one who is not 100% fit before the last few matches of the season. Mourinho will have all the other players at his disposal. Even so, it will still be hard to face Liverpool who looked amazing while playing against Manchester City. Even Holland admitted to the fact that the Reds have the mental advantage over Chelsea who struggled to win against Swansea City.
