Jose Mourinho offers update on Eden Hazard's injury following Chelsea defeat



A concerned Jose Mourinho looks on as Hazard leaves the pitch



 

JOSE MOURINHO admits he doesn't know how serious Eden Hazard's injury is.

 

The Blues suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Leicester to leave them just one point above the relegation zone.

In a miserable night for Mourinho's men, Hazard had to limp off during the first half following a challenge from Jamie Vardy.

The Belgian went down holding his hip and after consulting with Mourinho about whether to play on or not the midfielder headed down the tunnel for treatment.

 

"In 10 seconds [Hazard] made the decision himself," Mourinho told Sky Sports. 

"[The injury] must be something important. His first reaction was ‘I can’t’ and his second reaction was ‘I want to try’, then he goes on the pitch and he couldn’t do it.

"In three different seconds he had different perspectives, so that’s it. He’s injured, definitely. In the game I don’t know [how serious it is], but now I can have time to understand what the injury is."

Chelsea's next match sees them take on struggling Sunderland on Saturday at Stamford Bridge (3pm).
