‘It’s time’, ‘Great news’ - Chelsea fans want 26-year-old to play as Conte confirms massive boost

For the Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern, this weekend’s game against Leicester City is a must win fixture…

Defeat to Burnley on the opening day has already left Chelsea chasing the leading pack, and so a win could be the opportunity they need to close the gap on front-runners Man Utd.

It’ll be a very difficult game. The Foxes, despite losing some of their best players, are no pushovers, and with Jamie Vardy in the team – anything can happen.

Fortunately for the Blues, in the lead-up to the game, Antonio Conte has revealed some good news – Eden Hazard is back and available for selection.

Though it remains to be seen as to whether he will play from the start, what is certain is that he will be in the squad – and that’s vitally important.

Conte on Eden Hazard: 'He is improving a lot and I think now I can count on him. I have to decide the right minutes but he is available.'

Unsurprisingly, the Chelsea fans have taken over on social media in response to the news, with many desperate to see Hazard take to the field against the Foxes.

He is yet to feature for the club this season, and as a result, they are yearning for his return.
