Despite being unable to inspire Maurizio Sarri‘s men to victory against Liverpool last week, Eden Hazard is in excellent form.
He scored the two goals to dispatch West Ham United, with one possible goal of the season contender after he slid past five defenders before finishing calmly.
However, the forward was on the receiving end of some rough treatment against Slavia Prague and is now a doubt for Chelsea‘s next game against Burnley on Monday.
How serious is the injury?
Hazard was fully fit ahead of the game on Thursday, but was taken off after only 65 minutes despite the Blues only leading by a goal at the time.
Sarri however described the injury after the game as no more than a “strong knock”.
This could be a dead leg or a similarly minor injury, and is why Fantasy Premier League have him listed as 75 per cent likely to play at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

No, for the sole reason that Hazard will almost certainly get some game time, even if not fully fit. The forward starting against Burnley may be unlikely, but he could easily make an appearance off the bench and terrorise a tiring defence.
All could change when Sarri next faces the media, so keep a close eye on Hazard right up until deadline at 11.30am on Saturday morning.
