Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that Eden Hazard is in need of rest. Speaking to the press on Friday, the Portuguese highlighted his thoughts.
“He [Hazard] needs a rest,” the Portuguese manager conceded.
“It’d be perfect if his national coach don’t play him.
“He can not have a rest in the club. In the national team he doesn’t have to play friendly matches.
Mourinho: Hazard needs rest
“He needs a rest and they could give him a rest. It’s important for us and I prefer him on the pitch even if he’s tried because I know he can produce things.
“I prefer to have him on the pitch than not.”
Nevertheless, Mourinho will not be entreating anything from Wilmots: “I have no right to do that. I respect the national coach so let them do what they want.”
Mourinho also confirmed that Oscar is fit to play, with David Luiz missing out due to injury
