Chelsea
forward Eden Hazard will have an MRI scan on Monday, having picked up a
groin injury at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Belgium international limped off after just 15 minutes at Selhurst Park,
as his difficult season continues.
His injury was the one negative on the day for the Blues, who went on to
claim an emphatic 3-0 victory, their first under recently-installed manager
Guus Hiddink.
Asked about Hazard's injury after the match, Hiddink said: "He slipped, and
he has a little problem with a muscle inside his groin.
"We'll see tomorrow with the MRI scan how damaged it is."
Hazard enjoyed an award-laden 2014-15 campaign as he played a key role in
Chelsea's Premier League-title success.
However, he has not been as impressive this term and is without a Chelsea
goal for 2,289 minutes.
The 24-year-old was one of the Chelsea players singled out for criticism by
the club's fans after the club's poor start to the season led to the sacking
of popular manager Jose Mourinho last month.
