The game is expected to kick off at 8pm GMT on Tuesday night, with Zinedine Zidane men took part in their final training session this afternoon.
During the session early today, Eden Hazard was spotted in the midst of his fellow team mates.

Zinedine Zidane have confirmed that the Belgian international is available to face his former club, Chelsea on Tuesday night.
The French manager confirmed during his press conference this afternoon. Zidane told reporters at his pre-match press conference: "I don’t see Eden having any doubts. He looked very good on the field the other day.
"That was the most important, not feeling anything from his old problems. Now he is good, and now to push on. We are happy to have him with us, he will bring a lot to the team."
