Manager Guus Hiddink has confirmed that both men played a full part in
first-team training on Thursday and Friday, and the Dutchman is
confident that they will be in a position to contribute against the
Gunners.
"He
[Hazard] was well prepared by the physios until two days ago when he
started participating with the team," Hiddink said. "Yesterday and today
he was in full commitment with the first-team training so he is
available."
Asked if the Belgian will be in condition to start,
Hiddink replied: "We have to be careful because he has fallen into some
injuries recently. I'm not sure whether he can play a full 90 minutes
yet so we have to consider whether to start him or to come in from the
bench. We will decide on game day."
Costa was sent to hospital
for scans after bruising his shin bone against Everton and when asked
how much work the Spain international has been able to do in training
this week, Hiddink added: "Not much but he was in yesterday and today,
so he will be available as well."
