Antonio Conte has confirmed that Eden Hazard is in the Chelsea squad to face Leicester this weekend after recovering from an ankle fracture.

The attacking midfielder has not featured for the Blues since last season after picking up an injury while on international duty with Belgium.

After coming on as a substitute for his country this week, though, Conte has confirmed he is fit and ready to return for Chelsea.

Antonio Conte spoke to the press on Friday and confirmed Hazard's availability for Chelsea

'Eden is available, and he is in the list for the game tomorrow,' the Chelsea boss told reporters. 'I think he is improving a lot, and he worked very strong to be ready.

'I think now I can count on him, but I have to decide the right moment and the right minutes. For sure, he is available now.

'It's normal [to be careful] when there is a surgery. It's normal to pay attention to his recovery. Don't forget, Eden is an important player for us. It's important to play soon.'
