Hazard injury scare ahead of Europa League tie

According to the Mirror, Chelsea’s star-man Eden Hazard could miss their games against Bate Borisov and Burnley.

The Belgian, 27, did not suffer the injury during the Manchester United game on Saturday but he woke up on Sunday morning with restricted movement, after receiving some aggressive tackles at Stamford Bridge.

September’s Premier League Player of the Month has arguably been the best player in the league this season, with him being pivotal to Maurizio Sarri’s new Chelsea side, who are unbeaten this season.

With Hazard missing out, there will be added pressure on a struggling Alvaro Morata.

Ex-Chelsea midfielder Ruud Gullit has claimed that Hazard and Willian do not trust Morata, he said

His team-mates don’t come into any positions where they create anything for him. The worst part is you can see Willian and Hazard always dribble inside because they don’t trust him.

Without Hazard’s creative ability, Morata could struggle even more, or, he could thrive without being in the Belgian’s shadow in the next two games.

Chelsea will be hoping that Hazard can recover in time for the two fixtures.
