Sarri Hopeful on Hazard Injury after Sparta Victory

By Daily Sports on April 19, 2019

Maurizio Sarri is unconcerned by a knock that Eden Hazard sustained in Chelsea’s Europa League victory over Slavia Prague on Thursday.

Hazard went down in the early stages at Stamford Bridge but carried on after receiving treatment, though he was eventually taken off in the 65th minute as the Blues held firm to a 4-3 win that sealed a 5-3 aggregate triumph and set up a semi-final against Eintracht Frankfurt.

But Sarri – who saw his side score four in a sensational first half only to concede twice in quick succession after the interval – is confident that Hazard’s injury is no major cause for concern.

“Nothing serious, I hope,” Sarri told a news conference.

“It’s only a strong knock. But I think we can recover him for the next match.”

Chelsea appeared to be in complete control at half-time at Stamford Bridge, as they had cruised into a 4-1 lead.

But a fine Petr Sevcik brace early in the second period had Slavia on the up and pushing for further goals, as they still needed two more to secure progress to the semi-finals.

Ultimately Chelsea did enough and went through 5-3 aggregate victors, but Sarri was again left baffled by the Blues’ second-half woes.

“[Chelsea were] very good in the first half, I think. Really, [we played] very well,” he told reporters at his post-match news conference.

“As usual in the last two months, we started very badly in the second half. We need a solution. We need to solve this problem.” (Goal)
