Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has revealed that he does not believe Eden Hazard's ankle injury is anything serious, insisting that the Belgian should be fit for Monday's meeting with Burnley.
In the early stages of Thursday's 4-3 win over Slavia Prague, Hazard found himself sent to the floor several times as a result of multiple knocks to his ankle. He continued the game - sporting rips in his sock from the collisions - before being substituted after 65 minutes.
Hazard has taken an early knock to the ankle. It seems like a sore one. That's the worry of using him against what the stats say are the Europa League's dirtiest team. #CFC #UEL #CHESLA

He required treatment on multiple occasions, but Sarri insisted that he is not overly concerned by the injury.
When asked about Hazard's condition, Sarri said:
"But against these opponents, it's not true. They have physical numbers. I have never seen something like that [Slavia's fitness] in the last 20 years.
