Eden Hazard completes full training session ahead of return Real Madrid Without Carvajal, Casemiro, Lucas and Mariano

Real Madrid are ready to welcome Eden Hazard back to competitive action as soon as possible after the Belgian forward completed a full training session on Tuesday morning.

The former Chelsea forward has been absent since picking up an injury in the Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain before Christmas.

Hazard has been restless to make a return, although the original date pencilled in for his comeback was the first-leg of the Champions League tie with Manchester City.

Zinedine Zidane is careful over the fitness of players, and thus was not overly keen on rushing Hazard back for Saturday's Madrid derby victory.

Hazard wants to play on Thursday in the Copa del Rey meeting with Real Sociedad, however a final decision won't be made until late on Wednesday afternoon.

Whilst the summer's marquee signing was able to train without any problems of Tuesday, the French coach was without several first team players.

Casemiro, Lucas Vazquez and Mariano Diaz all worked separately from the group inside the club's Valdebebas facility, whilst Dani Carvajal couldn't do any work at all following the injury he suffered against Los Colchoneros.
