Eden Hazard

[Barbara 15,149]

So disappointing that he didn't play this epic match. He needed it.

Of course I'm saddened about his absence in the next few matches, but this match and how it played out was much more important than whether we win, draw or lose against Swansea and Sunderland. It's the kind of match that marks your career and makes you take several steps in the development curve (mentally wise).

Also we've proved twice in a row that we can play without him (the Stoke match was one of the best we played this year - 2014 - and he wasn't missed in the pitch tonight either) which is great for us and for him. It means we aren't an one-man-team and that there isn't way too much pressure on the kid's shoulders. That said, it's much easier when he's around and he will become our match-winner sooner or later. It's not a dig on him.

I'm very sad he's missed it, but I'm sure they'll be new opportunities, maybe the next one is even in two weeks and three weeks from now - if he's healthy. Hopefully he'll be there and will written some history by himself too.

I wish him a speedy recovery, and I hope that non sense talk about his injury and PSG would stop. The guy deserves more respect rather than ridiculous speculations.

Apparently he was already feeling his calf in the warm-up. No wonder he had a couple of un-Edenlike moments in the match before he came off.

Yeah I think the people that are accusing him don't realize just how offensive it is.

It is offensive like you said, but it is also golden fish memory. He has carried the team when others dropped in form. He has delivered so many times. Yes he is not the complete player "yet", but for crying out loud he is our star. Seriously buddy, people should have more faith in our players especially the ones like Hazard. I think the kid felt bad because of his injury. Even after he was struggling he tried to dribble and run. Despite of it he TRIED. What more can anyone ask for.?!!!

If you CAN beat them, why join them?!

Fuck Paris, Ligue 1, French media and all the deluded journos out there. Hope this was the night that proved them they can't lure world class players like Eden into such a team. They should concentrate on writing about more realistic targets such as Evra, Sagna, Lloris, Puyol, Valdes etc

Honestly?

I'm disgusted by a few comments here, starting with his joke about his wife and then about the damn shirt and now the motivation or lack of heart/focus or whatever what shit I've read HERE IN A CHELSEA FORUM today.

First of all, he joked about his wife. If you don't take a joke, get a life, because yours must suck if you take things always so seriously

Second, it wasn't the wisest move to wear PSG shirt during the interview. But the kid is only that a kid - that was probably disappointed and sad over the defeat, especially with a goal in the end like that, and I'm positive the last thing is his head was whatever he was wearing. Did I like it? No! Do I think he should haven't done that? Absolutely. But I won't condemn him for something that I'm 100% was an honest and most of all an innocent mistake.

But then I've had enough with the implication he was subbed because his heart wasn't in us and he wasn't fully committed. It disgusts me because first of all, he may be a father of two, but this is a boy! He's a 23 who was willing to play with pain for us!!!!!! That's just utter bullshit. The guy sacrifices himself, tries to give his best despite the pain and the risk and some supposedly called 'fans' think he was subbed off for lack of commitment and for thinking about a stupid bid?

Hasn't he showed in many matches prior to this one how much he tries and does for us? Isn't it enough that didn't want to face away from the pressure and responsibility? Give the guy a FUCKING BREAK. Some of you just embarrass me more than I can cope. It's an embarrassment to read all those implications in the last few days about a guy like him. You look at Hazard for five minutes and you see what an innocent and pure heart he has. He's a child inside still - reason why he made maybe an inappropriate joke given the time and why he didn't even realize what he was wearing during that interview. I'm so done with some of you... and I really wish you were done with Chelsea too or at least this forum. Both the club and Eden deserve better than some of you and yeah, I may sound like I have something stuck up in my ass, but not more than some of you with the implications you did. Embarrassing indeed.

After this match, I think we should stop the Hazard FC thing. He is a good player, our best player, but we are not about Hazard. Chelsea have a team, rather than an one man army.

Update?

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

@xPetrCechx

Calf injury. Was already feeling it in the warm up. Got worse as the game went on.

Mourinho said a "couple of weeks" wen asked how long he would be out. He's getting a scan today to see how bad it is.

That's all the info there is for now.

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

Hazard could be fine for the weekend . Eden Hazard has claimed that the injury that forced him off during last night's Champions League quarter-final isn't serious.

(Mirror)

[Kieran. 6,317]

As long as he's back by the CL Semis in two weeks, we should be fine. He could do with a bit of rest and we should get past Swansea and Sunderland with the form Willian, Salah, Schurrle and Oscar are in.

[mediator 2,026]

A belgian newspaper is reporting that he will be out for at least 2 weeks

Is it all speculation at this point or is it based on the results of a medical test?

Being able to do what we did last night without him has given me more faith in the team. Shows we're not just a one man show. Willian and Schurrle were magical last night.
