Chelsea, Belgium star Eden Hazard faces four-week layoff with hip injury

By , Staff Reporter
Belgium boss Marc Wilmots reveals that Eden Hazard is likely to be out for three to four weeks with a hip injury.

Belgium boss Marc Wilmots has revealed that Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard is expected to be out for three to four weeks with a hip injury.

The 25-year-old has not been included in the Belgium squad for an upcoming friendly against Portugal.

Hazard has struggled to recreate the form that landed him the PFA Player of the Year award at Stamford Bridge last season, in part because of injuries.

Today, Wilmots confirmed to reporters that Hazard will not be involved in the Portugal friendly on March 29 and could be out for a month.

Premier League trio Vincent Kompany, Kevin De Bruyne and Jan Vertonghen have also been left out due to injuries.
