Chelsea star Hazard insists he's back to full fitness and is eager to play a crucial role in Blues' encounter with Roma in Champions League tonight
Eden Hazard has declared himself ready to hit top form ahead of a pivotal week for Chelsea's season. The Belgium playmaker struck the winner in Saturday's 1-0 victory at Bournemouth, where Chelsea kept themselves nine points adrift of Premier League leaders Manchester City. Hazard missed the start of the season after ankle surgery but has now claimed three goals in as many Chelsea games in all competitions. The Blues travel to Roma in the Champions League tonight, before hosting Manchester United in the league on Sunday — and Hazard hopes now to kick himself and his side into a new gear.

Asked if he is now at full throttle after his injury, Hazard replied: "Yeah for sure, definitely. I'm training hard and the injury is the past. I'm ready for the next game. I just want to play. "A big week is coming, so it was important also for the confidence to stay high, after the game against Watford, to win at Bournemouth. We are full of confidence now, two big games in Champions League and Premier League. And we are ready to play both." Chelsea laboured in front of goal despite dominating against the Cherries on Saturday, but Hazard's low strike sealed the win.
