Eden Hazard out of Chelsea squad

Eden Hazard was not part of the Chelsea squad that boarded a flight to Romania earlier today.

The Blues take on Steaua Bucuresti tomorrow night looking for their first Champions League victory of the season following their 2-1 defeat at the hands of FC Basel last time out.

However, they will have to make do without the services of Hazard, although the reason for his absence is yet to be confirmed.

Hazard's fellow Belgian, Kevin de Bruyne, was also absent from the travelling party as was Dutch midfielder Marco van Ginkel, who recently damaged his cruciate ligament.
