Hazard's Return?

A familiar face could be returning to Stamford Bridge, and mixed reviews are ringing in and around the fanbase. Chelsea fans love a bit of sentiment, so when I heard that Eden Hazard is ready to come back to Stamford Bridge, it was no surprise that many were open to the idea. I would love to see the 31-year-old Belgian make a return, not because he is a good player, but because of sentiment.

However, Green feels Kepa is now back at the top of his game. The statistics show that Green is right to praise Kepa’s performances this season. The 27-year-old has saved 84.6% of the shots he has faced in the Premier League, while his conceding rate is at 1.5% rating means he is saving more goals than the average goalkeeper. While he may not keep his place when Mendy returns from the African Cup of Nations later this month, he will want to continue his excellent form if he starts for Chelsea against Plymouth this weekend.
