Hazard could miss Chelsea's Premier League match with Crystal Palace on
April 1 after Belgium head coach Roberto Martinez revealed the midfielder
will be on the sidelines for the next 10 to 15 days with a calf injury.
Hazard did not feature for Chelsea in their 2-1 victory over Stoke at the
Bet365 Stadium on Saturday after pulling up in training with the injury 24
hours earlier.
The 26-year-old will miss Belgium's World Cup Qualifier against Greece on
Saturday and the friendly with Russia on Tuesday as a result and Martinez
confirmed his captain would continue to be assessed by the medical staff of
both the national team and Chelsea.
Chelsea, who are currently 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League,
welcome Crystal Palace to Stamford Bridge in 12 days time.
"Eden has suffered an injury before the match against Stoke, it does not
look so serious," Martinez said.
"But he will not play against Greece. We are going to follow the injury.
"It is a big disappointment for Eden that he cannot lead the team. If you
want to be a good team, you have to absorb everything.
"This is a good test for us. I see enough players who can take over his
role."
