Hazard doubtful against PAOK in Europa League encounter

Chelsea boss, Maurizio Sarri, has revealed that Eden Hazard may not play in their Europa League tie against PAOK on Thursday.

According to Sarri, if Hazard is rested, then Pedro will take his place in the game.

Sarri also had some words concerning Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who is nursing an injury at present.

“Loftus-Cheek has a little problem with his right tibia so on Saturday he wasn’t able to play,” Sarri told Chelsea’s official website on Monday.

“I hope he can recover in the next two or three days and maybe there is an opportunity that I can give him a chance.

“I don’t know now because I want to have a very clear picture of the situation, who are the players who need to rest or not.

“I don’t know about Hazard.

“I want to speak with him and I want to speak to the doctor and then I will decide.

“Of course either Hazard or Pedro will rest on Thursday.”
