Chelsea icon and current Real Madrid flop Eden Hazard has promised Carlo Ancelotti that he will work and prepare hard to show his doubters that he's not finished as the Blues look at alternative attacking options amid initial return claims.
Hazard, 31, gained a total of only 802 minutes in all competitions last season for the LA Liga and Champions League winners from the 21 games that the Belgian featured in during the 2021/22 campaign. Despite playing no minutes of the Champions League final success in Paris against Liverpool, as well as receiving his first-ever medal of this calibre in this competition, he earned his beloved former club a handsome transfer windfall.
However, with the winger now on international duty ahead of the Nations League kick-off, he now has a big decision on his hands regarding what now happens with his own future. It was initially expected that Chelsea's former number 11 would look for a Premier League return this summer amid Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United rumours but if his own words are anything to go by, then it looks as though unlike his good friend Romelu Lukaku, he will be staying put in Spain for at least one more season as a big promise has been made on his behalf.
