Real Madrid winger Eden Hazard is hoping to be fit for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City, according to reports.
The former Chelsea player has been sidelined due to ankle surgery but he is looking to return to training before the end of the month.
Considering Hazard’s poor injury record and woeful form since moving to Real, some City supporters on Twitter feel it would actually benefit them if he played for Real, while others don’t believe he will be available anyway:

The comments from City fans are harsh but fair. Hazard has not been the same player since he swapped Stamford Bridge for the Bernabeu. During his three seasons in Spain, he has played just 65 times, scoring only six goals.
If you were Kyle Walker, and you were asked who you would prefer going up against, Vinicius Jnr or Hazard, you would opt for the latter every single time.
