Chelsea In Shock As Eden Hazard Blown With Achile Injury

Chelsea were hit with an injury scare on
Tuesday afternoon when Eden Hazard
was forced out of training with the
Belgium squad with an achilles problem.
The forward had told his national team’s
doctors that he had been struggling with
pain in his achilles for the past two to
three weeks.
Silverware is the goal: Hazard is a key
player for Chelsea's title chase this
season
Sweat: Mourinho knows Hazard's
absence will be a big blow for Chelsea
They set him running, but after an initial
assessment decided that he should pull
out of the rest of training.
Belgian officials still expect him to play a
part of their World Cup qualifier against
Scotland on Friday but are carefully
managing the injury.
With Belgium sat top of their group and in
a good place to qualify for Rio next
summer it is unlikely they will unduly risk
him. A serious achilles tear would end his
season.
Short-term: Midfielder Moses joined
Liverpool on loan on deadline day
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho has insisted
that young forwards Romelu Lukaku and
Victor Moses are in his long-term plans
despite allowing allowing the pair to leave
on loan for the season to Everton and
Liverpool respectively.
‘I think its time for everyone to stop
thinking about selling and buying
players,’ the Blues boss told Chelsea TV.
‘There are always little things to do on the
last day, people to leave. We have to think
about the club but we also have to think
about what is best for the players
individually.
For now: Lukaku has also gone on loan to
Everton, but Mourinho has attempeted to
justify the moves
‘We decided Moses and Lukaku - two
players we were more than happy to keep
- that it’s better for the club and the future
of the players if they go on loan.
‘With Lukaku, we have Fernando, Eto’o
and Demba. Of course he would get
playing time, but it’s the choice of playing
basically every weekend.
‘He had lots of clubs and options, and we
have to respect his decision.’
