Chelsea ace Eden Hazard speaks out over the "difficult period" of his career

Eden Hazard has struggled this season for Chelsea

EDEN HAZARD admits he is going through the most "difficult period" of his career.

 

The 24-year-old was voted PFA and FWA player of the year last season as Chelsea won the Premier League and Capital One Cup.

But the Belgian has struggled this campaign, failing to score in 11 games.

And his slump as coincided with Chelsea's poor form which leaves them in sixteenth place in the league, ten points off the pace.

Manager Jose Mourinho has dropped Hazard on a couple of occasions this season and the winger is uncertain about why he has struggled so much.

He said: "This perhaps the most difficult period of my career. There are always ups and downs. I'm not certain what the problem is.

 

"But we have to keep working hard to improve. 

"It's always good to spend time with the national team, and even more so when things aren't going well for your club. 

"I know I can do better. I have to be able to help the team win."
