Eden Hazard had no problem being dropped to the bench for Chelsea's 1-1 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final on Thursday, according to Blues manager Maurizio Sarri.
Hazard was a surprise omission from Sarri's starting XI, but he did appear from the bench in the 61st minute at the Commerzbank-Arena.
In his absence, Chelsea went behind to Luka Jovic's 23rd-minute header before Pedro netted a potentially invaluable away goal just before the break (U.S. only):
