Chelsea manager soothes Eden Hazard worries as Real Madrid monitor situation

JOSE MOURINHO insists Eden Hazard is back to his best after a faltering start to the season.

Mourinho is a 'nice guy' - Klopp

Hazard failed to score in his first nine games of the new campaign, resulting in him being benched for a crucial Champions League clash in Porto.

The Belgian came on as a second-half substitute but couldn’t prevent Chelsea going down 2-1 to the Portuguese champions.

He was dropped again following Chelsea’s disastrous 3-1 home loss to Southampton before the most recent international break - and was then heavily criticised for his performance against Dynamo Kiev in Europe.
