Hazard Is Fit To Play - Antonio Conte

Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte has confirmed that  star winger, Eden Hazard is fit to face Crystal Palace in Saturday's English Premier League fixture. Hazard missed the midweek win at Sunderland with a knock. ‎Though Conte admits the Belgian is fit for the game, he is unsure whether his key star will instantly reclaim his place in the team.

He said “Yeah I think he's fit, then I have to see to decide to put Eden in the starting eleven, but he's fit today. He trained with us. For sure, not only for him but also for the other players. I have this night to decide because it's not easy to play three games in six days. It's important to see every single detail and then take the best decision for them.”

Chelsea sit at the top of the table, six points ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal who occupy second and third place respectively. It was a remarkable change in fortune for a side that struggled in the Premier League last season, but Conte refused to sing his own praises for now.
