Team News: Hazard nears Chelsea return, Hiddink updates on Remy and Falcao before Everton

GUUS HIDDINK has confirmed that Eden Hazard will be absent again for Chelsea's clash with Everton tomorrow.

 

Guus Hiddink has no fresh injury concerns for the Everton clash

 

The Belgian star limped off in their 3-0 win at Crystal Palace 12 days ago and hasn't featured since but is set for a return to full training next week.

But Chelsea's interim boss did reveal that he had fresh injury worries after their bad-tempered 2-2 draw with West Brom on Wednesday night.

Radamel Falcao is still unavailable with the thigh injury he sustained at the end of October, with parent club Monaco admitting they almost recalled the Colombian striker before changing their mind.

Loic Remy returned to the squad against West Brom after an ankle injury had kept him out of action for a few weeks.

The French striker was an unused substitute at Stamford Bridge and continues to be linked with an exit from the Blues.

Hiddink declined to comment on any transfer speculation and added that we was happy for Remy to play again.

The 29-year-old has scored three goals in 13 games this season but found himself limited to substitute appearances and Chelsea's hierarchy have reportedly told their Dutch boss that he must sell Remy before they can bring any strikers to Stamford Bridge.
