Eden Hazard is now set to miss key games for Chelsea
As the start of the 2017/18 season approaches and with the fixtures that are tough games for Chelsea, Conte will be looking to plan ahead to get a jump on the campaign.
Unfortunately, this won’t include Hazard, not for a little while anyway.
Hazard miss the community shield game against Arsenal at the open of the season, also the London derby clash against Tottenham on 19 August, which will be at Wembley as well and home games against Arsenal on 16 September and Manchester City on 30 September.
That is clearly bad news for the club, with Eden one of their star players attacking wise, and Antonio Conte will be looking to make sure he has that gap filled, to make sure the loss does not see the defending Champions get off to a bad start.
