Eden Hazard could be set to return to the Real Madrid fold on Wednesday evening when Real Madrid take on Osasuna in LaLiga, after he was 'poked' by boss Carlo Ancelotti.
Despite returning from a muscle injury, the Belgian was surprisingly only an unused substitute for Ancelotti's side in the 2-1 victory over rivals Barcelona last weekend.
There were concerns that the 30-year-old, who has struggled badly with injuries since joining from Chelsea two years ago in a £89million deal, was still not fully fit.
Spanish daily AS's front page read 'Another train for Eden Hazard', with the under-performing forward again coming under the microscope; Marca claimed Carlo Ancelotti's recent comments had 'poked' the Belgian ahead of a clash with Osasuna
But Ancelotti has since revealed that the Belgian forward has fallen down the pecking order behind the likes of Vinicius Jnr and Rodrygo.
