Report: Eden Hazard a Concern for Chelsea vs. BATE Borisov Due to a Back Injury

Hazard couldn't get on the scoresheet in a 2-2 draw at home to the Red Devils, and the Telegraph's Matt Law wrote that a back injury could sideline the Belgian for Thursday's European clash in west London:

Ashley Young was fielded in a less natural right-back slot by manager Jose Mourinho, and the Englishman was one of the major culprits in roughing up Hazard, picking up a yellow for his troubles alongside Nemanja Matic.
