Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has revealed that Eden Hazard will not be fit in time to play against Everton in Saturday's Premier League match.
Belgian wideman Hazard has missed the Blues' last two matches with a groin strain and will again be absent tomorrow at Stamford Bridge.
Hiddink did add that last season's Player of the Year could return against current league leaders Arsenal a week on Sunday.
"The only one not available yet is Eden Hazard, although he is on the pitch working," Hiddink told reporters.
"I hope that in the upcoming week he will have full training sessions, and then we will decide if he can join us for Arsenal next weekend."
Hiddink also confirmed that Radamel Falcao, who is Chelsea's only other absentee, would also miss Everton's visit.
