Eden Hazard still not 100% and is sensible about his return

Speaking to DH, Eden Hazard is not 100% fit after injury despite playing 77 minutes for Belgium last night.

Chelsea’s man main, Hazard, has been out injured since June with ankle surgery but made his return last week for Chelsea’s U23 side.

He still got called up for the Belgium squad, which his club head coach, Antonio Conte, wasn’t too pleased about.

Hazard scored in Belgium’s astonishing 9-0 win over Gibraltar last night, where his former teammate, Romelu Lukaku, bagged a hat trick. Hazard was replaced by his brother in the 77th minute.

Hazard has played 249 times for Chelsea since moving from Lille in 2012, has scored 72 goals from the club whilst grabbing 62 assists, winning two league titles with the club.

Hazard confirmed that he may not play for Roberto Martinez’s side against Greece on Sunday and he came out and this about his return to first team football.

I missed a few things, but that’ll come back with time on the pitch, but I didn’t feel any pain. I pushed a bit to find some rhythm. I’m happy, especially at being back and to see the fans.

matchday.
