Marc Wilmots confirms Eden Hazard return for Spain clash

Wilmots confirms Hazard return

Belgium boss Marc Wilmots has revealed that Eden Hazard has overcome his recent illness and should be fit to face Spain on Tuesday.

The Chelsea attacker emerged as a doubt for the game over the weekend after missing training with a stomach problem.

However, Wilmots has said that the attacker "woke up with a big smile" on Monday and is now in line to face Spain in Brussels.

"Eden Hazard woke up with a big smile. He slept well and felt much better and is going to train and should play," Wilmots told reporters.

Hazard, who has struggled for form thus far this season, started Belgium's 3-1 win over Italy on Friday.
