Eden Hazard admits he could still miss more games as he recovers from injury

Hazard missed Chelsea’s opening three Premier League games of the season after undergoing surgery on an ankle injury back in July.

He’s appeared in the Blues’ last seven games across all competitions, starting their latest league outing in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.

But the Belgium forward, who has also featured twice during the international break, has warned that his recovery from injury is not yet over.

The 26-year-old forward admits he could miss more games for Antonio Conte’s side.

I will miss some games, I will play bad for some games

“I missed football for three months, it’s not easy to come back after a big injury,” Hazard said on his recovery.

“But I worked during the summer – I just want to play football.

“I will miss some games, I will play bad for some games. I just want to play football and try to bring the best of me.”

Hazard was crucial in helping Chelsea to the Premier League title last season, scoring 17 goals and providing seven assists across all competitions.
