Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has insisted that he has put all of his injury worries behind him, Sky Sports reports.
The Belgian international was made to endure a delayed start to his season on a personal level as a result of ankle surgery in the summer. However, he is fighting fit again, and is looking ahead to what promises to be an important period for his side.
I’m training hard, the injury is the past. I’m fully ready for the next game, I just want to play.
A big week is coming, so it was important also for the confidence to stay high, after the game against Watford, to win at Bournemouth. We are full of confidence now, two big games in Champions League and Premier League. And we are ready to play both.
Hazard was in fine form against Bournemouth most recently, and scored the decisive goal as Chelsea came away from the Vitality Stadium with a hard-fought 1-0 victory.
It’s a massive win, massive. We should have scored more goals, but we did well in defending together and at the end of the game we had the three points, and that’s the most important thing.
The win takes Chelsea to a total of 19 points for the season, and keeps them in 4th place. The Blues haven’t been in the best form so far in the 2017/18 campaign, and are nine points adrift of league-leaders Manchester City.
Next up for Antonio Conte’s side is Roma in the Champions League, and Chelsea will be keen to maintain their perfect record in the elite competition this season with a win.
