Eden Hazard dream and Antonio Rudiger regret: Former Chelsea players involved in World Cup

Chelsea representation is expectedly high for the World Cup this year in Qatar. Fifteen players, either currently in Graham Potter's squad or out on loan, have been selected for their nations, with the potential that a couple make it all the way to the final showpiece on December 18.

But on top of those of current interest, the same number applies to former Blues' also involved in the international tournament. It could have been 16 had Timo Werner not suffered a cruel ankle injury on the eve of Germany's squad being announced, ruling him out of contention.

Those who are travelling make for interesting reading, with some beloved figures likely to spark support from Chelsea fans craving a bit of nostalgia across the next month.
