Hazard return poses conundrum for Real as Clasico, City loom

Eden Hazard's return should prove timely ahead of a crucial week for Real Madrid, but fitting him into the team may not be a simple task for Zinedine Zidane.

Real play at Levante on Saturday at the start of an eight-day period that continues at home to Manchester City in the Champions League and finishes against Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Hazard made his first appearance since November 27 versus Celta Vigo last weekend and impressed, winning a penalty in the second half and offering hope he can regain sharpness quicker than when he returned from injury in September.

"We're happy to have him back for what did during his 70 minutes -- we know what he can give us," said Zidane.

"He played longer than expected because after three months out, we didn't want to go overboard.

"He brought a lot of attacking intent, especially for the second goal, so we're delighted to have him with us again."
