But, without a goal for Chelsea this season, Hazard has warned he is still recovering from his surgery and he could miss more games.
‘I missed football for three months, it’s not easy to come back after a big injury,’ he said while on international duty.
‘But I worked during the summer – I just want to play football.
‘I will miss some games, I will play bad for some games. I just want to play football and try to bring the best of me.’
