Chelsea fans panic as Roberto Martinez admits he could include Eden Hazard in Belgium squad

 

Chelsea fans were taken aback as Roberto Martinez admitted there’s a small chance he could include Eden Hazard in Belgium’s squad for the side’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Hazard missed Chelsea’s entire pre-season and the 26-year-old is yet to make an appearance in the Premier League this term after undergoing ankle surgery earlier this summer.
The Blues are hopeful the attacker will make his return when Antonio Conte’s side travel to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City on September 9.

With Conte’s squad already thin on the ground, Chelsea are desperate to wrap Hazard up in cotton wool until he reaches full fitness but Belgium’s manager worried fans by hinting that the star forward could be including in his squad.

‘He isn’t 100 per cent fit yet. The next two days will be crucial,’ Martinez told Voetbalkrant ahead of Belgium’s clashes with Gibraltar (August 31) and Greece (September 3).
