Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel only has good things to say about Eden Hazard.

The Blues and Hazard are reunited, after the Belgian left for Real Madrid two summers ago.

Hazard, who has been in and out of the Real side this season due to niggling injuries, is fit for the game.

Asked about the threat of the player Chelsea fans know all too well, Tuchel told reporters, per the club website: "Eden is a top-quality player and he was the key player here for many years, in the hardest league, so I have the biggest respect for him.

"Of course we talk a lot because he was a big player here and many people know him really well.

"He is fit and he had a comeback in the last game for some minutes to be ready tomorrow.

"If he plays I am pretty sure he will want to make a point; let's see. Real have so many quality players we have to face the challenge with confidence."
