Hazard is forced to play with Injuries- His Father lamented
Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has been forced to play this season despite suffering a hip injury, according to his father, Thierry.
Thierry told Belgian
newspaper Le Soir: “Eden’s lack of form is due to an injury, an
inflammation in the hip, that he’s been carrying now for three or four
months.
“It’s not a bad injury, but when the pain arrives, it feels like a
stabbing. It feels like a knife is stabbing [his hip].”
The winger’s father also suggested that his problems from a game against
Leicester in December while Jose Mourinho was still in charge.
Hazard asked to be substituted but his pleas were not heard and he
continued playing.
Hazard said: “[Eden] was
feeling the pain early in the game and that’s why he has asked for a
substitution.
“Instead of giving Eden time to overcome the injury and have a proper
rest, they push him to play because they have some important games. He
has no choice.
“Which player hasn’t had highs and lows in his career? It’s the first
time in his professional career that he’s confronted a difficult period.
He’s not a machine, as we know.”
Meanwhile Guus Hiddink, has suggested that Hazard snr. might be right.
He told reporters on Friday: “His father made a fair judgement. He is
not absent of injury,
“I have my concerns about him as well – whether he should play, when
he’s not top, top fit, an hour at full intensity or another part of the
game. We’re trying to help him.”
Hazard was named the FWA and PFA footballer of the year last season but
he has been off colour this season with the winger only showing flashing
of his brilliance when Hiddink was appointed.
Chelsea currently sit 10th in the EPL, 10 points behind fourth-placed
Manchester City with nine games of the season remaining, and were
eliminated from Europe’s top competition by Paris Saint-Germain on
Wednesday.
Chelsea faceEverton in the FA Cup quarter final this weekend.
