“We can’t expect him to be on top form without playing.”
Hazard was looking beyond Real Madrid to the Euros after undergoing surgery on his right foot in March while some felt Suarez had played his last game for Barcelona after having a knee operation in January.
However questions were soon being asked about his weight in pre-season, and he has struggled with injury all season. Barca coach Quique Setien has been similarly circumspect over Suarez, who is also not renowned for quick returns to sharpness after time away.“He is better than we expected,” Setien said on Sunday. “But the question is how ready he is after so long out and whether he is ready to start.”
Hazard was supposed to help fill the creative void but 11 games over five and a half weeks offer no room for rustiness and, unlike Suarez, this is still a new team to him. Fifteen appearances in 10 months hardly breed familiarity. Barcelona has a two-point advantage and the marginally more favourable fixtures, particularly as the usually heated atmospheres at Sevilla and Alaves will be negated by empty stands.Yet bubbling distrust of the Barca board could resurface at any moment and Madrid has the better head-to-head record, meaning they only need to be level on points to be crowned champions.
