Hazard dismisses fears over his knee injury

Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has dismissed fears over his availability after the Belgian was withdrawn halfway through Belgium’s 3-0 friendly win over Egypt on Wednesday due to a knee injury, but he insists there is nothing to worry about.

The Chelsea star produced a strong display in the first half, playing a key role in Romelu Lukaku’s opener as his shot was parried to the striker, before making it 2-0 in the 38th minute, turning Yannick Carrasco’s cut-back in from the centre of the box.

Marouane Fellaini completed the scoring late on, but Hazard had long since disappeared due to taking an early knock to his knee, with Adnan Januzaj taking his place.

The attacker is adamant it is not a serious problem, however.
