The big return of Thorgan Hazard for the last match of the year? His bet with the medical staff is clear – All football

After his serious injury at the start of the Playoffs, Thorgan Hazard had to go through a long rehabilitation under the supervision of Lieven Maesschalck. “The desire to come back is even greater now,” declared the man who was still in the stands for the match at Genk.

According to Het Nieuwsblad, he should make his return to the squad for this week's match against Dender. While it had been announced that he would no longer play before 2025, the Mauves playing master would symbolically like to return to the game in the last quarter of an hour during the last meeting of 2024.

Be careful not to rush anything

David Hubert, has mixed feelings. On the one hand, the injuries to Killian Sardella and Mario Stroeykens as well as the uncertainty around Dreyer (ill) mean that the return of Hazard would be a real boost.

But on the other hand, he does not want to make hasty decisions with him. “It will depend on the circumstances of the match. We don't want to take unnecessary risks, but it is clear that Thorgan is doing well” declared the Anderlecht coach.

“'I always said 2024,' he recently told me. The staff said 2025. We'll see who's right,” concludes Hubert. According to internal sources, Thorgan Hazard is physically ready for a brief rise to the game, even if the medical team remains cautious.
