James Chester: 'We must stop Eden Hazard'

James Chester admits that it is vital Wales find a way to keep Eden Hazard quiet when they host Belgium on Saturday.

James Chester has admitted that Wales must find a way to handle the threat posed by Eden Hazard when they take on Belgium in a Euro 2016 qualifier.

The two sides head into the Group B clash on 11 points at the halfway stage of the qualifying campaign, and Chester is fully aware how difficult it will be to keep Hazard quiet after battling the Chelsea attacker for Hull City in the Premier League.

"Hazard gave me my toughest 90 minutes on a pitch in my first season in the Premier League," he told reporters. "Since then, I've felt that when I have come up against him I've handled him better than I did the first time.

"We know we will have to be at the top of our game to keep him quiet because he's such a great talent."

Wales claimed a point with a goalless draw away from home in the reverse fixture back in November.
