Eden Hazard to miss Liverpool match but on course for Chelsea return against Atletico Madrid

Chelsea’s attacking midfielder Eden Hazard is on schedule to return from a hamstring injury to play in the second leg against Atletico.

Hazard has missed the last three games with the problem having limped off during the quarter-final victory against Paris St Germain.

The 23-year-old was still feeling some discomfort in his leg earlier this week and is unlikely to be risked for the trip to Anfield on Sunday.

However, he is confident a few extra days’ rest will make the difference and is desperate to be available to help Chelsea reach their third final in seven years.
