Chelsea star Eden Hazard is making progress in his recovery from an ankle injury sustained while on international duty with Belgium in June.

Hazard will be part of the Chelsea U23 squad that will play Everton on Friday as he continues his recovery.

When asked if Hazard will be ready to play against Everton on Sunday, Conte said: “Honestly I see him every day and I repeat in this situation it’s very important to give the right time to players to recover very well.

“Hazard is an important player for us and if someone thinks to accelerate the process this is not the right way.

“In this moment I think we must pay great attention to not make mistakes.”
