Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has revealed that Eden Hazard is 'tired' and will play no part in the Blues' Europa League opener against PAOK on Thursday.
As reported by the Independent, the Belgium international told Sarri after the international break, and again after the 4-1 win over Cardiff - a game that the 27-year-old scored a hat-trick in - that he was feeling tired.
The news comes as no real surprise given the former Lille forward's lack of a solid pre-season, having captained Belgium to third place at the World Cup in the summer.
