Hazard injury worries Sarri as Chelsea star misses PAOK clash

By Daily Sports on November 29, 2018

Eden Hazard will sit out Chelsea's Europa League game against PAOK on Thursday with an ankle problem, head coach Maurizio Sarri has confirmed.

The Belgium star will not be risked for the visit of the Greek side to Stamford Bridge but should be available for Sunday’s Premier League game against Fulham.

Sarri, who also revealed Victor Moses will miss the PAOK clash due to a back injury, admits he has some concerns about Hazard due to his recent struggle for form and fitness. Speaking at a news conference on Wednesday, Sarri said: “The last problem is Moses. I spoke with the doctor 10 minutes ago and Moses has a back problem. I think he will be not able to play.

“Then, Hazard of course, is not a serious injury. I think he will not be able to play but I think we will be able to recover him for the next Premier League match.”

When asked about Hazard’s recent form, which has seen him go five games without a goal in all competitions, Sarri said: “I am worried because 25 days ago he had a back injury, now the ankle.

“I think he lost a lot of training, so it’s normal that he is not at the top of physical condition. He has one week of training and a couple of matches.

“This week, it’s useful for him to have training, and then we’ll see. Of course, I think he cannot play 10 matches in 29, 30 days, so sometimes he has to rest.

“I have to think through everything. Saturday, we played very badly, without determination. We lost a match after 110 days, I think, so the team did well generally but we have to understand why we played against Tottenham without determination, it’s not normal. [Thursday] is important for us because I want to see a reaction. I want to see we learned our lessons.” (Goal)
