Chelsea winger Eden Hazard is expected to be fit for the Blues’ Premier League encounter against West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
The 26-year-old, who played and scored in Belgium’s 3-3 draw with Mexico in a friendly last week, picked up a knock in that game.
As a result, Hazard did not play in Belgium’s 1-0 win over Japan in another friendly last night.
However, according to Belgian daily Het Laatste Nieuws, Hazard only watched the Japan game from the sidelines as a precautionary measure and he is expected to return to action against West Brom at the weekend.
The Belgian is a vital player for Chelsea, having scored three goals and provided four assists in 13 appearances in all competitions for the Premier League champions in the present campaign.
