Eden Hazard injury: Chelsea star hopes to deliver good news to Antonio Conte after laughing and joking around despite being injured
EDEN HAZARD hopes to deliver good news to Chelsea boss Antonio Conte over his injury fear.
The Blues’ man-of-the-moment was forced to come off during Belgium’s 8-1 World Cup qualifying win over Estonia on Sunday night.
It prompted concerns that Chelsea’s impressive run of five successive Premier League wins could be derailed with their star player crocked.
Hazard took a knock on his calf after scoring in the one-sided match in Brussels.
But a Belgian source said: “Eden was spotted after the game smiling and joking around. He was taking loads of selfies with his mates and guests and didn’t seem at all concerned about his injury.
“If it was bad then we don’t think he would be so happy. He’d be off having treatment at the very least.”
