Chelsea In Shock As Eden Hazard Blown With Achile Injury

 Chelsea were hit with an injury
scare on Tuesday afternoon
when Eden Hazard was forced
out of training with the Belgium
squad with an achilles problem.
The forward had told his
national team’s doctors that he
had been struggling with pain in his achilles for the past
two to three weeks.
Silverware is the goal: Hazard is a key player for
Chelsea's title chase this season
Sweat: Mourinho knows Hazard's absence will be a big
blow for Chelsea
They set him running, but after an initial assessment
decided that he should pull out of the rest of training.
Belgian officials still expect him to play a part of their
World Cup qualifier against Scotland on Friday but are
carefully managing the injury.
With Belgium sat top of their group and in a good place to
qualify for Rio next summer it is unlikely they will unduly
risk him. A serious achilles tear would end his season.
Short-term: Midfielder Moses joined Liverpool on loan on
deadline day
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho has insisted that young
forwards Romelu Lukaku and Victor Moses are in his long-
term plans despite allowing allowing the pair to leave on
loan for the season to Everton and Liverpool respectively.
‘I think its time for everyone to stop thinking about selling
and buying players,’ the Blues boss told Chelsea TV.
‘There are always little things to do on the last day,
people to leave. We have to think about the club but we
also have to think about what is best for the players
individually.
For now: Lukaku has also gone on loan to Everton, but
Mourinho has attempeted to justify the moves
‘We decided Moses and Lukaku - two players we were
more than happy to keep - that it’s better for the club
and the future of the players if they go on loan.
‘With Lukaku, we have Fernando, Eto’o and Demba. Of
course he would get playing time, but it’s the choice of
playing basically every weekend.
‘He had lots of clubs and options, and we have to respect
his decision.’
