Eden Hazard

[Waterfall 893]

Gutted because he's played such a big role in us getting to the Final, but I'm too happy with today's result and Frank's new record that this doesn't concern me as much it probably would have. I just hope he comes back 100% and I'm sure he will. Doesn't seem like a major injury at all

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Even if we can get him fit to play 25-35 minute if we need him to come on and provide a spark. Highly unlikely though.

[yuvala 2,167]

We can manage without him.

But the players will need to step up this time.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

...because it's the first time he's played 67 games in one season in his career. Hopefully it's the last.

70 actualy if transfermarkt is right. Is there actualy any other player who played more mins this year than Eden?

On other side, this is extremely bad thing for players mentality. Several footballers have gone major mental blow because the coaches overplayed them. Especialy if there were injuries and they were forced to play. Similar with Torres who isnt same anymore. Dont rush Hazard, give him few weeks off so he can prepare for next season.

[Hkibou 622]

Without Hazard, your squad is still better than Benfica's imo.

[DJames 729]

Let the poor boy get some rest. He's performed spectacularly for us this season and been a key player in most matches. He's been having little niggles for a while now so lets not push him. I for one don't want him anymore hurt than he has to be. It sucks that he may not be able to perform in the final one of the closing highlights of this season but I'd rather save him for next season where he can be even more of a threat. Hopefully we should be able to manage without him well enough (if we don't I think that says a lot of our current squad)

[The Skipper 20,609]

Just praying for some good news today...

But he's our best player and makes us play a 1000000x better.

[sutro 1,026]

He will be greatly missed against benfica but also for the very important game our NT have against serbia but still his health should come on the first place, so dont rush things and get well eden!

Thanks for this wonderfull first season in the blues shirt

[Ollie 4,400]

Will be a huge miss on Weds, he just makes things happen out of nothing and a game like this is what he deserves, especially as he's been so instrumental in the run. We do have players to step in and do a good job though. I hope Moses plays a lot better than he did yesterday. In a big game against a good team i doubt it though.

Is he out for that game as well? How do you know?

[Term-X 7,891]

No point waiting for news, because he's definitely out, pretty clear. At least it's not a 'proper' european final and of course the most important objective (top 4) has already been achieved.

This was more of a consolation prize for a long, hard season. A cup is a cup. I'm sure Hazard wanted a day out in Amsterdam like all the others*.

*Except maybe Mikel who hates this competition

That game is only 3 weeks away,a hamstring injury mostly takes more than that to heal

[Ollie 4,400]

Hamstring is hamstring. Let alone 3 days, he'll be out for 3 weeks. Even a tight hamstring (whatever the fuck that even means) keeps players out these days. Messi tried his best to deal with his and just couldn't do it. As Term said, no point waiting for news. It's still a proper final for me though because no other English team have won the full European set. I just like to brag about shit like that.
