Chelsea star Eden Hazard delivers injury update after ankle worry vs Tottenham

Eden Hazard delivered a positive injury update following Chelsea's defeat to Tottenham after confirming that he suffered a suspected twisted ankle at Wembley.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri declared his side's performance in their 3-1 humbling at Tottenham as a "disaster" as the Blues' unbeaten start to the Premier League was unceremoniously ended at Wembley.

Dele Alli and Harry Kane put them two up inside 16 minutes, before a brilliant solo goal from Heung-min Son after the break made it three.

It could have been a rout had Spurs taken all of their chances before Olivier Giroud scored a late consolation for Sarri's men.

This was a shadow of the Chelsea side that had gone unbeaten in their opening 12 league games and Sarri admits they have a lot of problems to address.

To make matters worse for Chelsea, Hazard suffered an injury during the game as he was seen limping heavily on the Wembley turf, but carried on after appearing to signal to the Blues' bench.

Speaking to beIN Sports after the game, Hazard said: "My injury I think is not something bad.

"I think I just twisted my ankle but it's like every game is the same, so I'm used to it - but I will be back soon."
