Eden Hazard, who had been out since the Leicester game, made his comeback in the 3-0 away win at Crystal Palace at the weekend only to be sidelined with yet another injury.
Hazard pulled up and tried to continue but succumbed to his injury in only the 15th minute to be replaced by Pedro.
It looks like Hazard won't be able to continue. #CFCLive

After the game, manager Guus Hiddink reported that Hazard would go for an MRI scan on the injury. Hiddink is quoted as saying there is a ‘sprain’ but also a ‘little problem with a groin muscle’.
Hiddink: 'Hazard sprained his leg, he has a little problem with a groin muscle. We will see more with an MRI scan tomorrow.' #CFC

We will sit tight on Hazard’s injury. But if rumours of him leaving in January are true, Chelsea will want to make sure the player is fully fit in order to move him on.
